Baalzebutt Wrote:However, there is another question that also comes to mind (so to speak): If the mind is indeed separate from the brain, then all minds (or souls, if you will) should be roughly equal in intellect and capacity, assuming, of course, the the "creator" of said minds wanted each to have an equal chance at salvation. If this is the case, why are there mentally retarded people? Why are there super-geniuses like Einstein and Hawking?
If we assume they are seperate entities, then I think it means people have varying degrees of intelligence depending on the different physical properties of the brain, which is the thing that enables them to "peek" into this universe. So it's like the brain is the vehicle for the mind, but if the vehicle is "damaged" or less capable in some way, then the mind won't be able to overcome that physical impairment.
