Little Rik Wrote:Here we are again with the old litany that the mind is a function of the brain.Wrong. And simply claiming otherwise doesn't change that fact. Car/driver analogies don't change that fact. Your comical misunderstanding of even basic ideas about how the brain works doesn't change that fact.
All the evidence show is that brain and mind are connected in such a way that one can not do without the other.
Little Rik Wrote:I believe that this is the case but i am not saying as a statement.My point is that you claim to believe it, but do not have a logical basis for it. You believe it because it's what you want to believe, so you reject evidence that contradicts your belief, and simply state otherwise as if saying so is sufficient. You clearly know that it isn't, since you keep demanding evidence. So you should know that you're approaching the subject in a manner that is unreasonable. You should also know that ignoring evidence (such as referring to NDEs again) isn't a logical way to approach the subject. You don't seem to care, but being willfully clueless doesn't seem like a useful way to go through life.
Little Rik Wrote:The study that show that brain and mind are connected to each other is not evidence that the mind is a product of the brain.Once again, just because you deny the facts will not make them go away. Replacing facts with your fantasies will not make the facts go away. If your nonsense makes more sense to you than reasonable conclusions reached from a study of the facts, perhaps you're nuts.
Get it in mind Ton because the evidence is a different story.
My claims may not be evidence to you but make a million more sense than your so called evidence.
Little Rik Wrote:Researchers that study the brain-mind connection can only work within the physical-mental borders....which are the only "borders" that anyone can study and therefore know exist. You are making up "sciences" that you can't define, and claim that they work on some plane that you can't detect. And if you don't realize how silly that sounds, then maybe you really are nuts.
Notice that in your response you admit that you're going by what you 'believe,' interpreting facts as you please, and offering claims which deal with a science that cannot be studied or practiced. This is what you are claiming. And you apparently think that this is some kind of higher learning. Honest, it's clear that you've learned to undo the buckles on your straitjacket and get to the nurse's computer to make these posts. You sound like an insane person. Yes, it's mildly amusing, but as I said before you're getting repetitive and you've stopped trying, and that's boring. Step it up, Rik, or I'll move on to the next nutcase.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
