Of course you are right but the point of this thread really was not to PROVE the connection behind mind/brain so much as it was to lay out the concepts as I see them and to draw a conclusion form that evidence. Even you would have to agree that all of the current evidence certainly makes it look as though mind and brain are one and the same, would you not? I mean, looking strictly at what we know right now, it is a reasonable assumption.
By way of comparison, early religion looked at what they knew from the world around them and concluded "god". At the time, it was a reasonable assumption. So that's all I am saying about mind/brain. With current knowledge, it is reasonable to conclude they are one and the same.
