Many today argue that physics and chemistry is all that exists (i.e., is real). That takes out minds, souls, free will, ethics, miracles, consciousness, joy, love etc.
But I want to draw your attention to the Mind / Brain issue. It is important for Christians to realize that humans are more than just a bag of chemical reactions (we are composed of body and soul / mind – material and immaterial). Take some time and read a fascinating article by Neurosurgeon Michael Egnor. It won’t take too long, but this stuff is important to think about.
Let me know what you think…
