>of course there's evidence. if the receiver (brain) is damaged, the signal gets fuzzy(loss of consciousness)

Pictured, a radio receiver circuit. It is quite simple, the brain is dramatically more complicated and structurally analogous to a computer, not a radio.

>Brain damage does nothing to support your unfalsifiable materialtard dogma since it is equally compatible with any explanation that involves the brain as a crucial component in the expression of consciousness, whether it produces it or not.

See pic. Brain is vastly more like a computer, with no sign of signal receiving capabilities.

See pic. Why so complex and computer-like then? What RC car have you seen with a super computer onboard?

>And you know this how exactly?

If consciousness waves interact with the material, they are detectable by material instruments. The contention that they are exempt from material investigation is an invocation of Gould's non-overlapping magisteria, which requires that the immaterial and material be non-interactive. If not, it is perfectly reasonable to expect experimental detection of the purported phenomenon.

...And emotions are neurochemical reactions

...and personality, i.e. how you react differently from another person to the same thing because of different past experiences, is neurological

Then what does the soul do? Or, if neuroscience is wrong about everything, and the soul does all of the things above, then what do we need brains for?

Or if our soul is just raw consciousness, but includes none of what makes us distinctly who we are, how can it be said that anybody goes to an afterlife?

Pictured, a radio receiver circuit. The brain is much more complec than this.
