oh christ people, just let people fucking believe whatever they want. why the fuck do you have to argue about everything. give it up move on to something interesting you're beating a dead horse. it doesnt matter how many times or how many ways you tell a person they are never going to fall in line with your view of religion. give up and do something worthwhile.

i agree, for those idiots taht claim they are theyr brain are stupid.

heres something that proves ur not ur brain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage

thats the story of phineas gage.

at around 1848 some dude working on a railroad did something wrong and got a 1.25inch thick iron pipe thing go right through his brain from the bottom up and he survived. not only that he also didnt lose conciousness and was the same exact person as before. he could walk, talk, learn new things, retained his intelligence but couldnt see with one eye.

What point are you trying to make here? Also Gage's personality completely changed after the accident. I think you need to read that article in full.

Lol. As others noted, you forgot to read the part where the guys personality was forever changed. Much like the Gabby Giffords case, it's a million to one odds that you'll survive a traumatic brain injury, and even more unlikely that you'll have the same motor functions and personality. But it's possible.

What do you honestly think the brain even does? Do you think it's some kind of low-end calculator and our personality / thoughts / sense of self come from some kind of invisible or spiritual organ?

It's invisible, untouchable, undetectable, but it's still there. Right... you're nuts.

It's not possible to ignore something that doesn't exist. There is no proof of a soul or of God, because those are things that require Faith. If you could prove one or the other, then it wouldn't be a matter of Faith, would it? If there were proof, it'd be a matter of science.
