I don't agree with "Christianity" on too terribly much, but on a sentimental level, its recognition of human wickedness and human divinty, of the chaotic, dark mess of the human spirit, is far more compelling than the vision of crushing us into mechanistic contraptions of pumps and joints and electric signals and chemical triggers.
But we are "mechanistic contraptions of pumps and joints and electric signals and chemical triggers". That being said, there is way, way more to be learned about the human brain. And it is best learned through the scientific method!
Way to prove Mikado's point. The very action of you and others elevating Science to the status of God, replacing religious truth of one kind with a religious truth of another, but claiming it is
something else ("scientifically proven"), and then
arrogantly claiming that human beings will ever be able to know the full extent of the human brain's capabilities (which is
not, by the way, the same thing as the human mind, and does not explain the enormous complexities of social interaction, for example)..what science has allowed modern human beings to do is to have pretensions of Godly power, of superiority, of enlightenment.
