Yup, the brain as "receiver" is an old idea, like you said. But your attempt at refuting it is quite narrow and has a lot of assumptions.
One such assumption is taking evolution as an unchangeable constant. To me it seems like if the "receiving" of the soul theory is true then evolution no longer plays any major role. It would simply be a story, or a lore. In a similar way when playing an RPG has a back-story that cannot really be experienced and never actually happened in the game.
- ncmncm 7y agoIt is meaningless to talk about "refuting" it. It's a "just so" story. Whoever wants to believe in it will, evidence or no. If you assume souls matter, and evolution doesn't, you have achieved nothing, and cannot predict anything. You are reduced to catalogging observations with no pattern, or just siiting and drooling. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_in_Biology_Makes_Sense_Except_in_the_Light_of_Evolution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_in_Biology_Makes_Sen...
