There is no evidence that souls exist, i.e. that consciousness is something more then just a result of interactions between the material components of a brain and the brain's interactions with its environment.

What evidence do you have that consciousness is exclusively the result of interactions between the material components of the brain?

I don't know...maybe the fact that when the brain is damaged it can affect consciousness? Or are we mistaking "brain damage" for "soul damage"?

[/ QUOTE ]

That doesn’t pass the basic logic test. It only establishes that the material brain effects consciousness, not exclusively causes it.

So you're asking for proof of something that is impossible to prove. How very typical of your posts on here.

Can you prove that a "soul" plays a role in consciousness?

Personally I believe that the stapler sitting on my desk plays a role in my consciousness. I challenge you to prove to me that it doesn't.

Where have I asked for proof of anything in this thread?
