Im still waiting for a link to proof we understand the origin and function of the human consciousness, since its so easy to find. Go ahead, throw me one since I cant find it myself.
Since you have no clue what youre talking about, here is a clear cut example of how we are still just beginning to understand the brain:

Scientists are beginning to confirm that our massive capacity for memory is due to astrocytes, which we previously thought had nothing to do with memory.
Maybe you ought to question shit a bit more instead of being confident in things that experts arent even confident in. The more you know the more you realize what you dont know. And we dont know quite a few things
I'm waiting for a link to any evidence at all for any sort of dualism. Asserted without evidence=dismissed without evidence, for someone who claims to know jack shit about logic and science I'm surprised I have to explain that to you. Your own link proves that we have evidence for a direct connection between consciousness and the brain, no matter how incomplete. Until you can produce evidence to the contrary you're arguing on the same level as a creationist.
