>So you don't actually believe in basic biology and the function of the brain?
Feel free to pinpoint the location inside the brain that hosts our consciousness.
>But you believe magical energies are making our heart pound?
I don't know if a heart can continue to pump if the soul is absent. All I know is that you can't have consciousness without a soul. Something as intricate as consciousness and free will simply can't be generated by a lump of flesh hidden within the walls of your skull.

If you believe the brain is the source of consciousness, then you can't possibly believe in free will. If you don't believe in free will, then why are we having this conversation? Is it because you are a slave to the chemical reactions inside of your brain and you are just doing what your brain is telling you to do? I, for one, am wholly aware of my own free will. I can continue to have this conversation with you, or I can walk away at any time. Aren't you aware of this same phenomenon?
