That’s a great argument. No wonder Metaphysical Naturalism is a minority worldview.

If you think that it was intended to be an argument, then you are in very bad shape when it comes to understanding. Not that I am surprised. 🙂 I am simply sick of the evasions.

Just to be clear: I know that computers are currently incapable of performing this type of mental action. No such computers exists, and there is no method for replicating this type of activity with material processes currently. If the organic brain performs these processes, and not some immaterial mind, then we don’t know how as of yet and haven’t been able to identify this process within the brain. This much is simply stating the facts as we know them.

I believe that we will never have a physical explanation of these mental processes, because what I know of material processes precludes this kind of mental activity. I am open to the possibility that I am wrong about this, however, and when actual facts are presented that contradict this belief my mind will be changed. Such facts don’t exist at this time, however, and I’m given no reason to believe that they will as we do not appear to be getting any closer to finding this kind of abstraction in material processes.

Peace and God bless!

Material processes presuppose the existence of mental activity; otherwise we wouldn’t know they exist!
 
We do a pretty good job destroying ourselves…we don’t need robots to help with that…

I still recommend that you read the paper I linked to.

Sorry, I am only interested in YOUR arguments. Going on a wild goose chase is not productive. I asked a few simple questions and you did not even attempt to answer. The ball is in your court.

Understanding my arguments will require further reading by you. Once we are speaking a common language I can continue the discussion. You gave me some reading material, and I’ve returned the favor.

Peace and God bless!
