Peoples idea that, the mind is
within the brain skull is a fallacy. No one has measured the mind. Therefore no
one knows whether it is confined to the brain skull. One
can see both a mustered seed and a mountain range within his own mind and hence
it is as small as the mustered seed or as vast as the mountain
ranges.
There is no evidence to prove a
causal relation. Therefore it is not possible to prove God created / caused the
world. Moreover sorrow and misery in the
world is hardly compatible with the idea of a beneficent creator. The wise
course is to suspend judgment and not to admit or deny creation.

Why You Are Not Your Brain, and Other Lessons from
the Biology of Consciousness

Alva No, a University of California, Berkeley, philosopher and cognitive
scientist, argues that after decades of concerted effort on the part of
neuroscientists, psychologists and philosophers "only one proposition about how the brain makes us conscious ... has emerged
unchallenged: we don't have a clue." The reason we have been unable to
explain the neural basis of consciousness, he says, is that it does not take
place in the brain. Consciousness is not something that happens inside us but
something we achieve it is more like dancing than it is like the digestive
process. To understand consciousness the fact that we think and feel and that a world shows up for us we need to look at
a larger system of which the brain is only one element. Consciousness requires
the joint operation of brain, body and world.
