Well let's see evidence is usually a good start, after they run a gauntlet of lab hamster like tests on these guy's we'll get some scientific answers.

From that I will form my opinion.

Failing this I will revert to the Goddidit default position (not).

Heh. A guy with no brain and an IQ of 126? Nothing to it. It's merely . . . Get me some real evidence and then we can talk. Looks like your opinion is formed just fine. Calcified, seemingly.

Yes.

There is no evidence for anything other than the brain being the whole story.

How does group mind fit into this pov, say that exhibited by birds, insects, fish and all that?

While we're at it, how do you explain this?: http://bit.ly/11tetq

It's gonna be tough slapping the "it's merely" tag on that one. A slime mold with no brain exhibiting memory and anticipation? Nothing to it.
