On Theism & Immaterial Minds

[Faith No More]

Oh my bad! I was still half-asleep when I responded.

Haha...no problem.

Well, it seems to me that naturalism can't account for some things such as belief and knowledge -- let alone consciousness -- while a purely immaterial outlook is on par with pink unicorns. So perhaps, what I really meant to say was that both sides are equally extreme in their claims, therefore I think a more reasonable answer is somewhere in between e.g. dualism.

But physical processes have been demonstrated to have great effects on the mind and its facets, such as personality. Sure, there are things it hasn't accounted for, but all dualism has is the claim that the soul fills these gaps. No one can even say what the soul is exactly or what its effects are. I do not see how the claims of each side are equally extreme.
