Yeah. It's so dumb I don't know where to start refuting. Haha.
I guess an elementary rebuttal could be that we have reasons to believe that minds exist and we have no reasons to believe that god exists. If minds are dependent upon having a brain and if humans have brains, then we can conclude that they also have minds. I don't think the theist can make a 100% claim that god has a physical brain. I mean, theists do define him as immaterial and a spirit. How can a spirit have an actual physical brain? The physical brain is a requirement for a mind to exist.

What do ya'll think?

What's the latest on this brain/mind issue?
Don't keep your mind so opened that your brains fall out.
