you are arguing your own argument not that guy's. so fair enoigh the problem is we don't know that brain causes mind or if it just accesses it. Mind is real and there is a distinction. Mind is the medium through which we access the world not brain. Besides the Bible doesn't use the term supernatural and it doesn't define the nature spirit or soul.The Pixie wrote:The important distinction to me is the supernatural bit. The soul or spirit is something that has a non-physical existence. The brain is clearly physical. The mind and consciousness (and ego and id) are not physical, but rely on a physical medium to exist (analogous to software refering hardware). The spirit/soul is something else, something that can exist without the body.
If anyone here is arguing about whether mind or consciousness exist, they are fighting a straw man; we all believe in them.
I don't see why we can't equate spirit with consciousness and that iwth mind.
