While it doesnt prove it, it is evidence. The fact that billions believe that the earth is round is evidence that the earth is round.Irrelevant argumentum ad populum.Maybe but billions attribute it to God.
The fact that the mind can cure the body including the brain of diseases is evidence they are separate to a signficant extent. The placebo effect.Please give a confirmable example of a mind that is not associated with a brain.El Cid said:
As I stated earlier, the mind is not a physical entity. So such things do not require any physicality.
That is because it was programmed to form. A program implies a programmer. But provide an example of a brain forming without a program (DNA).Literally any pregnancy.El Cid said:
Provide an example where a brain was empirically observed to form.
There is nothing magical about time.Languages don't "just" emerge; it takes an enormous amount of time.El Cid said:
Provide an example where something as complex as language just emerged.
Wrong.While it doesnt prove it, it is evidence. The fact that billions believe that the earth is round is evidence that the earth is round.
Does not prove that the mind is independent of the brain - could be the brain curing itself via the mind.The fact that the mind can cure the body including the brain of diseases is evidence they are separate to a signficant extent. The placebo effect.
Prove it.That is because it was programmed to form.
Loaded question.But provide an example of a brain forming without a program (DNA).
Why not? These Billions have been educated on this by teachers using science.Wrong.While it doesnt prove it, it is evidence. The fact that billions believe that the earth is round is evidence that the earth is round.
Non-conscious systems cannot know that they sick.Does not prove that the mind is independent of the brain - could be the brain curing itself via the mind.El Cid said:

Non-neural systems fix themselves, after all.
All brains are the result of a DNA program producing the correct proteins to make a brain.Prove it.El Cid said:

You are just evading the obvious answer.Loaded question.El Cid said:
But provide an example of a brain forming without a program (DNA).
Then it is the science that is the evidence, not the number of believers in it.Why not? These Billions have been educated on this by teachers using science.
And the mentally ill often do not know that they are mentally ill.Non-conscious systems cannot know that they sick.
They still have to choose to accept the evidence, some people dont.Then it is the science that is the evidence, not the number of believers in it.Why not? These Billions have been educated on this by teachers using science.
And yet a non-physical mind can fix a physical problem.And the mentally ill often do not know that they are mentally ill.El Cid said:
