Biochemistry is material in essence. Life is made of matter (and energy.) If you believe that, that's fine. There is no evidence that they do (as a separate supernatural entity.)
Thought is material as well; we can analyze thought and show the chemical and electrical changes in the brain that manifests thought.
The mind is the term we use to refer to the higher functions of the brain. So it's in the brain if you want a geographic location.
A series of unsupported, nonevidenced claims. There is only the brain, there is no "mind" save as a conversational convenience.
The mind is an emergent feature of the brain. Parts of it exist in many places; what we refer to as "the mind" has a lot of parts. The mind's reaction to danger, and feelings of peace and calm? Brain stem and cerebellum. Fear and caution? Amygdala. Art appreciation? Neocortex. Note that due to the amazing abilities of neurons to be plastic, the above are not always centered in those areas; people without cerebellums, for example, can live relatively normal lives because other parts of the brain can take over (partially) for missing, damaged or poorly wired sections.
So is ALL the soul in the body of the rooster and none in the head? If that is so can it be said the soul has left the head? Also as I recall animals or not supposed to have souls When did this snippet of knowledge reverse? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
That has nothing to do with the "soul"... http://modernfarmer.com/2014/08/heres-chicken-can-live-without-head/ It's simple biology, nothing more.
If you shock a dead frog, it will twitch, so obviously a battery contains soul energy. That is why we don't throw dead batteries away, but treat them to a respectful burial.
well, one thing is clear, you sure don't have a soul and dislike and derisive of even the idea of it. you must be a really ethical person to view lifeforms as objects besides dry as hell.
I'm derisive of the evidence used to support the idea. The galvanic response of nerves has been known since the early 19th century.
