You people are on dope!!! What reason do we have to buy any of this if infact, the mind is physical? Why isn't a physical mind ever considered? Is it not true that if we damage parts of the brain, where our mind resides, that this "mind" no longer functions like it did prior to damage? If a different part of our brain is damaged, is it not true that we may no longer be able to move various parts of our body no matter how much "free will" we think we have? Why can't the mind be something that is in our brain we just haven't discovered yet? Why is it that nobody wants to hear that the mind is nothing more than electrochemical reactions and that damage to the physical pathways = damage to the mind?

At what point does this "soul" exist? Is some of the soul in an egg and some of the soul in the sperm? Is it not true that if just one different sperm entered your mothers egg, "you" wouldn't exist? What evidence is available for the point in time a soul enters the body or is switched on at conception? As far as I can tell, "I" am defined by my environment. If I grew up elsewhere, "I" may have a totally different self than if I grew up as I did. If the mind is physical and some studies have shown this could be the case, then without a brain, the mind (self) can't exist once decay sets in. Your physical self is a battery for the mind, again a physical unit of energy. As you decay, the "you" that was once "you" decays into its separate atoms, never to be wholey connected ever again. the individual atoms may each go into something else at some point in time, but there is no "you" the collective whole of your living self, ever again.
