What God is to the Universe is what your mind is to your body

[Thumpalumpacus]

The fact that brain damage results in mental changes is not evidence of the interlinkage of the two? Am I reading you right?

It sounds like you are asking a question about psychology, and not about psychogony.  We know that if you change brain function, the qualitative nature of experience changes.  What we do not know is at what level the most elemental componenets of mind emerge-- if they emerge at all.

Well, we do know where some elements of mind emerge, tentatively; we know that self-consciousness is associated, in roughly proportional balance, with the forebrain, the cerebral cortex (animals with larger forebrains seem to exhibit more self-awareness; prefrontal lobotomies tend to inhibit higher thinking). Severing the corpus callosum results in subjects experiencing reality in vastly different ways. We know that damage to the occipital lobe can and does affect vision, and so on. Brain-mapping is still a nascent science, but the fact is that we have made large strides towards tying subjective experience with physiological functionality. Simply because we haven't explored every inch of the terrain, so to speak, does not mean that our feet cannot touch the ground.

The question is not about psychology so much as it is about the linkage between psychology and physiology in mental experience. How do our metaphorical feet touch the ground?

Put another way, what would you consider evidence? How would you falsify my point? And how might you falsify your own?
