Yes, I see people throw around the word immaterial but can you explain how this immaterial brain works?

In my opinion, anthropomorphism is inherent in any God-concept.  Without a mind God has no sentience or knowledge, and can't willfully exercise power, so he isn't a God at all.  If God has no changing mind, you just have the natural world of physics, chemistry, self-organization, and evolution -- just as atheists contend.  At best, "God" is reduced to a metaphor for physical processes, in whole or part.

Platonists, Aristotelians, and theologians have all been superseded by scientists.

I’m not exactly seeing what Swedendorg is talking about (Neo-Scholastic mentioned a guy named Swedendorg).
Isn’t a dog an anthropomorphic animal? Aren’t all mammals  anthropomorphic to some extent?
The general pattern, the skeletal structure, the internal organ arrangement is kind of similar.

When it comes to the brain, perhaps the brain structure is similar as well.
Perhaps some animals lack certain features. Can a dog laugh?
I know that a dog cares about his owner. Some dogs have alerted their owner when there was a house fire.
I saw in a video a dog pull out a baby that fell into a pool.

An experiment that you can try is approach your dog or cat slowly from behind and make a large noise. They’ll jump, just like your fellow human.

These are indications that our brain works in a similar way.

CONCLUSION:
Logic is logic. It doesn’t matter from which planet you are from, it doesn’t matter if you are a klingon.
Math is math. It doesn’t matter if you do your calculations under a Mac, a Windows, a Linux, a Unix, or some alien calculator.

So, when it comes to a thinking brain, there is a limit to how that brain will function.

See above.

I’ll also add this:
What logic lead this jewish god to say to himself:
“Hey Jesus. I have a mission for you. You are going to go into a human female. 9 months later you will be born.
For the first few years of your life, pretend to be an ordinary human. Later on, show them some magical powers.
The goal is that you need to get sacrificed so that people’s sins get wiped.”

So, why the waste of time?
Why waste 9 months as a fetus?
