Where is Jesus?

[Captain Scarlet]

Thanks for your response tackattack. I think your anaologies fail as every analogy we have can only reference the material world eg hadron collider and not the immaterial world. I would assert the immaterial does not exist you may assert it does. However I think we can agree that your intersting views are speculation. How can a material bring transition to an immaterial one? I'm afraid appealing to souls or spirits won't cut it here. Substance dualism (the appeal to an independent soul or spirit) has been roundly refuted. One thing we can know with certainty is that the mind and brain are connected and you cannot have a mind without a brain. There have been thousands of experiments and examples which testify to this eg people with brain injuries whose personlities change, clearly if their mind was independent there personlity would be unaffected. Christians argue you can have a disembodied mind in the case of god which amounts to mere special pleading and reduces the immaterial realm to a haunted house.
