Is this supposed to be evidence against the soul? Because it isn't anymore than sleep is
Christopher Martinez
But you're essentially conscious during sleep. Unless you're a chronic pot smoker.

Except there's no proof that consciousness comes from a source outside of the brain and that the brain only acts as a receiver so your analogy is retarded. Quit pulling things out of your ass.
Robert Long
Your brain is the operating system upon which the consciousness is built. The brain holds data, which can be described as the electrical and chemical properties that exist in the biological structure.
When all components of the brain are integrated together in the hypothalamus, the data becomes information (you are 'informed' of reality - you are aware). This information can be called a 'consciousness'.
Your consciousness, however is better described as a self-modifying model of reality. Every model is flawed in many ways, due to the organic nature of a consciousnesses development. Hence many artificial constructs can be built within the model to solve different problems - religions, beliefs, habits etc.
