... and yes they are inextricably linked and there are thousands of journals devoted to mind/brain all of which tend to treated thought as a physical concept

Care to link me one then?

This is just the psychology journals and it's debatable whether Wiki has the full list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psy...y_journals

but to claim thoughts exist beyond the physical is a claim supported by absolutely no (ZERO, NADA, ZIP) evidence ... it is just a fanciful claim, the same kind of claim for your god, and nothing else.

You don't see that we have reasonably established the physical nature of thought for one reason and one reason alone ...

Which is? Don't tell me ... there's a bit no one has detected yet because ... guess what ... it's not detectable!!!!! IF that's it (or anything like) what a pile of fucking shit!

YOU DON'T WANT TO!!!!

I don't see it no, because you have not provided it.

Unlike you, I am willing to accept that I am wrong. I am willing to accept that I may reason there not to be a God, and become an atheist myself.

You claim that thought is physical, a positive claim, yet refuse to see how the burden of proof rests upon yourself.

Nope, you just don't want to see it, you want to believe in your invisible god, invisible mind, invisible thought and all that bollocks and all of these with precisely DICK supporting evidence.

No, you're NOT willing to accept you are wrong because you have no way of evaluating it. OTOH people like me have precisely that method ... all we want is the evidence. As Asimov says, I'll believe anything you want if it is supported by evidence.

That is the difference between me and you ... I go where the evidence leads, you go where your fancy leads!

YOU are the one claiming thought is non-physical not I, YOU are the one making the base claim AGAINST the available evidence. YOU must provide the supporting evidence for YOUR claim not me!
