"Think of the mind as a kind of computer software, and the brain as hardware...

"I explore modern physics to show that the ideas of realms outside of space and time are entirely consistent with the most important findings of physics and astronomy..."


D'Souza answers a question on the human brain...



Same CWR interview as the previous posting.


"It doesn't follow that the brain causes the mind.

"We can see this by way of an analogy.

"Think of the mind as a kind of computer software, and the brain as hardware.

"Now the software requires the hardware in order to function.

"Smash the computer and the programs won't run.

"But it doesn't follow that the hardware causes the software.

"The software is independent of the hardware.

"Even when the computer breaks down, the software can run on a different one ...

"By analogy we can think of the brain as a kind of receiver or transmitter for the mind.

"When the brain dies the mind cannot function through that particular brain, but that doesn't mean it cannot survive in other forms.

"I explore modern physics to show that the idea of realms outside of space and time -- which is the Christian idea of eternity -- or the ideas of bodies that never break down -- which is the Christian idea of the resurrection of the whole person -- are entirely consistent with the most important findings of physics and astronomy..."


Way to go, SeƱor! :)
