In my subjective view, until we get a satisfactory physical explanation of how consciousness works, it suggests the possibility (no more) that the mind is not simply a matter of brain cells.-Here is another article onthe thought that it is consciousnes that gives us an illusion that we have free will. The author states that a small part of the proof is how different identical twins are, raised in the same environment. This is garbage. All the studies show that identical twins, raised apart, are extremely similar.-http://www.physorg.com/news186830615.html
