If there is a mind, it is independent of the brain. It is beyond the physical makeup of the physical brain. The mind is beyond it. Therefore, when the physical brain dies, the mind independent of the brain, having no physical ties, continues. Our minds continue. We are our minds. Our minds are our souls. Minds never die, souls never die. She still exists. . . Unlike the atheistic ideals of a purely physical world where everything surrounding you all happened by a billion accidents, and where a human brain is simply physical and the "self" is an illusion brought on by all these physical complexities, and then dies when the brain dies, can not account for the mind's existence independent of the brain. And having no physical accounting, the argument fails. If it can be proven that the human brain is a physical construct consisting of electric synapses and chemical building blocks and swirling DNA making it all unfold, that would leave us with an existence the same as any other physical creature on the planet. A biological machine operating purely on positive and negative stimuli. But we're so much more than that. We can imagine spaceships and aliens, far away planets. Talking rabbits and haunting ghosts. We can dream about strange journeys, write stories and compose music that moves our souls. That is not a ridiculous string of accidents that just happened at the right time in the right way leaving the function of a physical bio-mechanical brain which switches off like a lightbulb when this brain dies. How many spiders or lizards or sharks or sheep dream of electric people? And how many of them are able to have thoughts which go beyond such a structure. And higher animals with "sentience" have a far less complex version of a "mind," but as to how much this approaches the mind of a human is hard to measure. I think there for I am. If I am then I am above my physical brain. I think therefore I am and, therefore, I will be. Religion beyond science. This does not discount evolution. Nor does it lift up any single religion. On the contrary, evolution is one of the greatest proofs of a Cosmological Being who created the universe, the earth, human beings "through" evolution. Creation was the act, evolution was the action. The prime mover, the un-moved mover. I don't go for the Heaven Hell type of metaphysics, I think its too complicated for our minds in their current state. But I do believe in a higher place and an advancement of the powers of the continual mind independent of this life. We survive death. Otherwise if our minds didn't exist before this life, and don't exist after this life, then there is no proof that it, or the brain, existed at all. If "nothing" surrounds "something" like an ocean round a lifeboat, and the lifeboat sinks. Only nothing is left. Nothing, no proof, no life, no existence. Nothing before something, then after, just nothing. No proof that anything existed at all. And then you and I don't exist. Your computer, your cat, your favorite cake, nations, continents, the oceans, earth, galaxy universe god? Nothing exists at all. She was, she is, and she shall continue to be. And you will see her again.
