Anyhoo, I recently heard it described like this "The mind is one of the things your brain does"
Your guys are in a quandary. They know that 'mind then matter' is more reasonable; however, that's the theist position which you support, so no more kudos for you.

"mind then matter" is completely barking mad.
The mind is part of the output of a working brain, there is no evidence at all that a mind can exist without some sort of physical medium in which to do its stuff and indeed you can see the physical activity of the brain that is thought and memory and sensing and even memory.
I'm not sure how anyone can say that mind precedes brain and keep a straight face.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
