Is God Dead? A Mind And Body

Last week we posed a series of questions designed to make us think about a unique capacity that is common among human beings but is nonexistent in the rest of the animal kingdom. That wonderful characteristic is termed the duality of man. The 18th century philosopher Gottfried Leibnitz said “if we liken the human brain to a factory we could see any number of movable parts, but we could never see the thinking itself.” Unsurprisingly, the Darwinists have no answer as to where self-consciousness comes from. Although all people, believers and non-believers alike agree that there is an immaterial mind, the problem for the Darwinist seems to be in that there is no logical, scientific way to explain where self-consciousness comes from, or how it could have evolved from inert atoms in the animal brain. And yet self-consciousness very much exists all the same.
