Incontrovertible! Free will is a violation of the law of conservation of energy and it presupposes the existence of spiritual power without which we would be biological robots. Even animal behaviour cannot be fully explained in terms of physical cause and effect because its plasticity reveals a mental dimension is lacking in complex crystalline structures, notably in the will to survive.Anything that is ordered by law is deterministic. Even if the number of laws was infinite, matter would be acting in a law-like, determined manner and not capable of freedom.
Dualism is a failure. We even have evidence that there is an area in brain which is responsible for creating the sense of self! So what is left that we can assign it to soul! Monism is the only solution. The infinitsicmy of system is the only solution to the problem of free will. How possibly we can predict the behavior a system which is infinitely internally complex. You can look at it this way.Anything that is ordered by law is deterministic.

Brilliantly nonsensical. A phenomenon that we can’t prove exists…namely freewill…violates the law of the conservation of energy, therefore you think that the logical conclusion isn’t that freewill doesn’t exist, but rather that we should invoke an unseen cause for an unseen effect. It boggles the mind.Incontrovertible! Free will is a violation of the law of conservation of energy and it presupposes the existence of spiritual power without which we would be biological robots.
Classic God of the gaps. Science can’t yet explain how the brain creates consciousness, therefore the brain can’t create consciousness, and the only other possible explanation is the supernatural. The theistic brain at its finest.Even animal behaviour cannot be fully explained in terms of physical cause and effect because its plasticity reveals a mental dimension is lacking in complex crystalline structures, notably in the will to survive.
We could be infinity internally complex. That is the only solution in materialism for free will.Incontrovertible! Free will is a violation of the law of conservation of energy and it presupposes the existence of spiritual power without which we would be biological robots.
I agree with you that animals (including human) in general have the power to create ideas in order to resolve a complex situation and survive.Even animal behaviour cannot be fully explained in terms of physical cause and effect because its plasticity reveals a mental dimension is lacking in complex crystalline structures, notably in the will to survive.
We don’t have any evidence that the brain is the cause of the sense of self.We even have evidence that there is an area in brain which is responsible for creating the sense of self!
Yes. Correlation. That is the only way to induction. Why there is a center there if soul is the experiencer and self is property of soul?We don’t have any evidence that the brain is the cause of the sense of self.
We have evidence that there is some correlation of brain activity with aspects of a sense of self - but this does not tell us that the brain creates this sense, only that there are brain locations that respond physically to various inner states. This is far from proving a causal linkage.
Because the soul interacts with matter. It is not caused or created by the brain.Why there is a center there if soul is the experiencer and self is property of soul?
Yes, the lit up sectors of the brain is the effect of the soul and its powers on the brain and the body.Because the soul interacts with matter. It is not caused or created by the brain.
Free-will decisions from the immaterial soul light up sectors of the brain.
The free will cannot will simply and absolutely anything as if it has no object or purpose. As the eyes are made for seeing and the ears for hearing, so the object of the will is the good. The very nature of the will is that good is its object, it cannot help but will or desire the good, either true or apparent good. Consequently, the free will cannot will evil as such but only evil under the aspect of apparent good. St Thomas Aquinas argues that even God necessarily wills his own goodness as the divine goodness is the proper object of the divine will even as man necessarily wills his own happiness.Dualism is a failure.

That is a common problem in regards to dualism: How immaterial soul can interact with material body. They don’t share any property in common in order to interact.Because the soul interacts with matter. It is not caused or created by the brain.

What “properties” do you think a soul has?That is a common problem in regards to dualism: How immaterial soul can interact with material body. They don’t share any property in common in order to interact.
We know that matter has mass, charge, extension, etc. Soul apparently doesn’t have any of these. Therefore, matter and soul cannot interact.What “properties” do you think a soul has?
EnergyWe know that matter has mass, charge, extension, etc. Soul apparently doesn’t have any of these. Therefore, matter and soul cannot interact.
Energy is the inner strength. That doesn’t help you. You need a property which couples soul to body. Something like charge, etc.Energy
You don’t know what the soul is composed of. You’re measuring an immaterial soul by material standards and concepts.Energy is the inner strength. That doesn’t help you.
So please tell me that how soul and body interact?You don’t know what the soul is composed of. You’re measuring an immaterial soul by material standards and concepts.
You mean, how does the soul leave the body and end in either Heaven or Hell until the Last Judgement?So please tell me that how soul and body interact?
