Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
I will take that as a No. Might I suggest actually going and reading it, you might learn something about his amazing offer, as in, its Rigged.
I think you are mistaking soul for a functioning brain. When you die the brain stops working and the "mind" goes away. Something does disapear from the brain, its called chemical electrical reactions. Supply to keep the brain up and working also disapears and the chemicals in the brain break down as well.
So, you are wrong about this too.

The mind is the brain? No. The brain encases the mind, but it is not the mind itself.
Say a person is brain dead. The person or soul or mind is gone. The brain is still there.
If the brain and the mind were one and the same, why does the mind disappear in death, yet the brain is still quite real and visible?

They are not the same thing.
Out of curiosity, is a person's personality a product of the "mind" or the brain?

When a person dies, the brain is still there, but the mind or consciousness is gone. Disappeared
Which establishes rather neatly that it's possible to have a brain without a mind. If you can't prove that it's possible to have a mind without a brain, then the mind cannot have come first.

Because I'm wondering where you guys are coming from.
Of course if your a non believer your not going to agree with a evangelest who talks mostly about creation and science
Well I am not a "guy" but this is where I am coming from...earlier you said you do not know much about science nor do you have an interest in it (your words)...So why are you talking about creation AND science...the latter being a topic you admit that you know little about and have little interest in learning about?? Why not stick with your theology and belief..why are you tying a subject you know little about to your religious beliefs????? What happenes if you decide to start studying science and you learn how wrong you have been, what become sof your faith??
if you arent a believer your going to have a totally different opinoin then a creationist on how ''science stuff'' happens.
See above.
I've said from the start I dont know much about it but that seems to be a pretty simple issue.
Yes, it is pretty simple, creationism was falsified long ago.
him my question is are you christians?
No, I am an Ex-Christian, but I have a belief in a "higher power."
do you believe god made the whole world and everything in it ect
It is a possibility... but we DO know he/they/it did not do it the way creationsts like to think. Do you believe he made the "other worlds" and everything in them??

I'm not confused. Call it consciousness or mind, but which came first? The brain or the mind or consciousness?
I take it you don't have the answer.
When a person dies, the brain is still there, but the mind or consciousness is gone. Disappeared.
If the brain and the mind or consciousness were one and the same, the brain would disappear also at death.
They are clearly two different and seperate things.
Oh my goodness!!

Gee, and all this time I was thinking it was the Limbic System....
