The brain is not sufficient for consciousness

[miknik5]

Don't engage me anymore, as it appears the Moderator does not want this type of input in this forum.

Philosophy should mean that all men should be entitled to anything and everything that even one man has.

And philosophy of the man to whom a GOOD GIFT is given wouldn't then withhold it from even one of his brothers.

For, as you will have to understand and believe, GOD did NOT create many species of man. HE created one species...therefore, regardless of how we WANT to treat our brother or sister, we are and were supposed to be ONE FAMILY...

Some of the children have been gathered up into THAT HOUSE.
But there are many children who still haven't been...

I'm not a mod, but we aren't supposed to be discussing general apologetics here. This forum's statement of purpose clearly differentiates philosophy of religion (OK) and Christian apologetics (not OK).

 

[miknik5]

See the problem is religion encompasses man's ideas/thoughts/philosophies about a GOD...and they may or may not be right...because they are man-made schools of thought they are subject to error...

And yet there is ONE GOD...and ONE TRUTH of THAT ONE GOD...
And whether or not one believes or does not believe, THE TRUTH will remain THE TRUTH regardless of men...

All these things are man-made schools of thought: Religion, philosophy, Science, Evolution...all words expressed by men to explain and make meaning of his existence, his effect and the affect of his input upon the world and other living beings...

Chany,
Many pages back, I was told that I was on the wrong forum, but was told that I could remain...if I stuck to the subject.

The subject is the brain is not sufficient for consciousness?
How does this relate to a universal philosophy for all men?

 

[miknik5]

Okay, I am out of here.
I know that my input will only cause issues...
But I don't see how the brain, being a clean slate from the beginning, is NOT sufficient for consciousness...
And I don't see how the brain, can, in life, shut off the input that it receives and NOT take these things into itself to draw meaning and understanding in the world...

It is a database...it is based on input...
But, if the input is out of the ordinary, and the brain has to make sense out of it, and can't....then what will happen?

That was my initial post...

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Here's the thing GOD did not have to create man for HIM to be GOD. But because HE knew the end from the beginning, HE knew that HE would, in the end, have a set apart people for HIS Glory who would glorify HIM. As. GOD

Whatever; I'm still waiting for a logical explanation of the apparent paradox of imperfection arising from perfection.

Whatever is also a dismissal and does not make for open debate and communication

The post was a non-sequitur, not relevant to a logical explanation of the apparent paradox of imperfection arising from perfection.

We can't talk to one another.
That is the only logical conclusion.

It doesn't seem very productive... Reminds me of that George Bernard Shaw quote, "England and America are two countries separated by a common language".

Can I tell you something? Will you be offended by one wanting to say a prayer for you before she leaves?

 

[ToddNotTodd]

todd, First you said I am absolutely welcomed here if I want to discuss philosophy


Is this it?

Proselytizing is not Philosophy.

Not at all - I appreciate the sentiment.

My friend and foe...Mr. FrumiousBandersnatch,

I pray that before you leave this world GOD may open the eyes and ears of your heart to the TRUTH of HIS SON...

Thank you for the privilege of having come to know you...

I think I'll miss our..."talks"...

I'll try.

God is perfect. But He is not all there is in existence.

So, God created things which are composed of less than Himself . . . kind of like how very intelligent people can use what is not intelligent, at all, to create something; and their skill and intelligence can show in what they make. For example, there's more to a piece of pottery, than there is in the clay from which it was made. Even so, it is not intelligent like its maker.

So, God makes what is not perfect, but it is more than what it was before He turned something into His creation.

¿?

Thanks You seem to be implying that something imperfect was lying around and God came across it and moulded it into something better, but still imperfect.

Have I misunderstood?

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

My friend and foe...Mr. FrumiousBandersnatch,

Not really foe, I hope.

I pray that before you leave this world GOD may open the eyes and ears of your heart to the TRUTH of HIS SON...

Nicely put; I appreciate the sentiment.

Never a foe...ever...I hope that you will feel the same about me..
No matter if we disagree, I will never consider you my foe...

Thank you for being not as frumiously imposing as you may appear to be...

I would say so, and in fewer words

He said it in the way that he speaks...which, I for one...kind of like...it makes him frumiously interesting...
