First of all, his analogy is wrong. No examination of the circuitry of a television leads us to conclude that the television is the source of the signal, so he's simply wrong in trying to draw a parallel there. So, no, we don't need to draw upon additional evidence in the case of the brain because we haven't concluded that the television is the source of the signal. His analogy is invalid, therefore his conclusions based on that analogy do not hold. Beyond that, his entire spiel is basically one long argument from ignorance. Science can't explain it, therefore God! We have good evidence that consciousness and the brain are related. Whether you find that evidence compelling or not is a matter of opinion.
Really? Gary Schwartz? You have gone full troll on us, Drich.
