Quote:All of your arguments in relation to brain damage and its effect over consciounsess and intellegence are valid logical arguments. I do not have anything against these true facts.
But you are missing the most obvious point here in relation to conciousness and human intellect.
To make this point clear I will give you your example to explan why consciousness and human intellect are not the functions of human brain.
Whether first computer or today’s most sophisticated supercomputer the basic principles of therir working are unchanged. Logic – Gates are the foundation for any digital activity. With advances in science the structure of processors becomes more complex and through parallel processing calculations become faster and powerful. But the Logic – Gates remain unchanged. This is what relates to the structure.
Now come to the operating system the foundation of which is Boolean Algebra. Without a proper OS any processor (no matter how complex it is) is useless. How good would be the OS that good would be the performance of that processor. OS is basically a set of instructions which gives fixed commands to the processor and other parts of the hardware on how they should function.
Complex processor and a good OS are not sufficient for makeing proper analysis on the given data. For that there is a need for special software that gives the instructions to the processor on how to analyse a set of given data so the processor after making complex boolean calculations gives the requested result.
If you say that Natural Selection (blind, unguided, and unconscious process) has created most complex and most mystical biological processor (the brain) and the same Natural Selection (blind, unguided, and unconscious process) developed most complex OS for that most complex brain to function properly and on top of that the same Natural Selection (blind, unguided, and unconscious process) is responsible to develop different softwares (consciousness and intellect) which that mystical brain use to make different dicisions then I say it is nothing but absurd, absurd, and again absurd.
Where was the example of why consciousness and human intelligence are not functions of the human brain?
Quote:If Natural Selection is not a Being or Entity then how comes you or anyone can take it as Science?
Why does natural selection have to be a being or entity for someone to take it as science?
It's like if the army have an assault course and the army Sergent says
"Ok the selection has been made by the assault course."
He doesn't mean the assault course came to life, grew eyes, inspected the army recruits and spoke to the army sergent and said
"Ok I've selected Jenkins, Tom and Harry, but Peter and George just didn't make the cut."
It's an expression which means some people have been selected due to their success on the assault course.
Natural selection is the logical conclusion to a situation where different living beings have different biological traits and some are more successful than others at living and breeding.
The ones who live and breed, they live, the one's who don't breed and die just die.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
