Understand Reality Through Science

Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

The Brain Is Not A Receiver Of The Mind

The latest attempt by the religious to support the concept of an immaterial "soul" is to produce papers and articles hypothesizing that the brain does not produce the mind but that the brain is the "Receiver" of the mind (soul). Since I have not been able to find reputable neuroscientists supporting this hypothesis, I provisionally conclude that it is just another "God of the Gaps" argument. Can you think "Intelligent Design 2.0?"

Below are some links countering this "Receiver" hypothesis:
