This is the start of a series of videos anticipating a "War on Neuroscience" which will be the next anti-science campaign

> This will include not only creationists but new agers of all stripes and even agnostics like dhw who think there must be more to consciousness than can be explained by materialism.-The speaker on youtube specifically said the neuroscientists could see the mechanism for consciousness. Wishful thinking. What he obviouly meant was that the PET scans, etc. can demonstrate that the subject IS conscious, not how consciousness works or derives from the brain. The research going on is excellent. We know that memories are scattered all over, but to tell a subject the exact memory he is reviewing will always be impossible. The neural network of an IQ of 150 will be much more complex than an IQ of 110. One will be able to measure the intensity of thought, not the exact thought. From a deist standpoint, not to worry.
