Quote:Are you a dualist then, or do you think the brain is basically the mind?
Not really sure; I just keep an open mind about the subject because science is inventing new ways to measure reality all the time so we might still find evidence of spirits and souls. For the most part I find it easy to accept that there is only the material world, but so many of my experiences point to their being something else. I know you don't accept personal experience as evidence and for the most part I don't either but it is hard to ignore my own senses so we will just have to mostly agree on this with the exception of the soul.
Quote:is there any slightest bit of evidence at all?
Like I said, my own personal experiences are the evidence for me.
Quote:And as for a follow up, what are you referring to?
Assuming there is an abrupt weight loss at the point of death, it would be interesting to know what accounts for it. What if the soul is real and material?
