That the electronics isn't the thought (etc)

The physical mechanics of the brain... storage, cognition... aren't the same as thoughts, personality etc. .
@DD: that describes instinct & not cognition. A snake can only act upon instinct, it has no (nor does it need) cognitive function.

Disagree. Smile

Do you actually know the process of how we developed our unique sense of thought which separates us from other animals? If you did you would realise it's just another process of our evolution not anything supernatural as in the soul.
