Quote:Is there a relationship - absolutely. Within the context of the material worldview - and this is one of the fundamental problems with it - there is no way to bridge the gap between physically describable systems and any experience of any kind. Not only is there not an "obvious" connection between neuronal processes in a material world (I don't think such a world exists - but that's another story), there's not one in fact. Show me one physical connection between neuronal processes and any experience of any kind. There is a correlation between physical models we derive from this experience and our experience as a whole. Certainly. But that doesn't mean it has to be the one the materialist worldview says it is.Go get drunk and get back to me.
