> dhw: If you believe your consciousness is a separate entity from your brain, it is a clear contradiction for you to claim that consciousness cannot exist without a brain. You may believe that your God has preprogrammed every move made by every brainless organism, but that does not remove the contradiction in your thinking. - How many times do I have to repeat the brain acts as a receiver of consciousness, which I believe has the ability as a separate entity to enter afterlife.
