>> You seem to be tripping up on an imaginary difference between computers and brains. No, you're mixing up computers with computational devices. A "computer" is what I have in front of me now, as I write these words. My brain is not a "computer" it's maybe a computational device, maybe something else entirely. We have no idea how brains really work. And there is no consensus like the one you try to claim in any field. I mean "99% of the field?". That sounds more like an advert for toothpaste. "99% of dentists recommend Whitex!!". >> The only out you would have >> If you don't take that stance Get off your high horse and stop god-moding the conversation. You are trying very hard to invent a hill for me to die on based on something you'd really have liked me to say, just so you could pretend to win the conversation. The only person who has said anything about anything supernatural in this conversation is you. If you can't imagine why else I might disagree with you, that's your lack of perspective and nothing to do with me, or what I think.
