Is that what they're saying now?! The used to admit it, I've read the articles in scientific journals. Huh. That must be the new code talk to try to get people to believe it.
The brain plays a role, but it is not where consciousness arises from. It might act as some sort of external hard drive storage thing or something. I don't know exactly, but what I do know is the Christian perspective also. Which is, anyone can have...a bad or dark thought pop into their head, and it's not necessarily sin at that point. It's what you do with it that decides. (Take every thought captive to Christ) Which means don't dwell on it, cast the thought down, out of your mind.
If you continue to entertain the thought and think about it, it goes...whoosh, down into your heart and becomes sin to you, and becomes part of who you are.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
The entire brain does work too man. They just don't know what it does or how to test it. Just like, a few years back, they was sayin most of DNA was junk DNA...they know better now!!
Personally, I suspect that the other (supposed non working) part of the brain that we don't use...turns on at night when we sleep and does something. That's why they say, let me sleep on it. The info data that you input that day...is processed at night and then becomes wisdom. ?? I think, lol.
