What added value is there by crowbaring in supernatural elements. You acknowlege that the the electrical and chemical elements happen. The new neural pathways that make new memories can be observed.
That these chemicals and electrical interactions make up the mind is not really in doubt. Just becasue you cant imagine how does not make it not so.
As our understanding of reality grows so the idea of the supernatural becomes increasingly irrelevant.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
