Where in the story was the word 'brain' used? You missed the entire argument against duality...apparently.

If you follow the conversation, you can see the premises being set up in very specific ways, all leading to the grand finale punchline. It completely ignores several fundamental scientific principles in its quest to appear to make belief in the supernatural as credible as belief in the natural. Example: no, no one has seen the professor's brain. However, there have been thousands and thousands of humans whose insides *have* been seen; enough to establish that all living human beings possess certain critical organs. It has not been proven that the professor has a brain; however, science would indicate that the person claiming otherwise would have to supply the evidence to support it, given the understanding of human physiology. Things such as this are the equivalent of parlor tricks, designed for people insecure in the faith to pat themselves on the back and reassure themselves. If you need this sort of deception in order to feel good about your beliefs, then I would suggest that that is a sign of deeper issues. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
