    What then is the ultimate cause of the process of cognition?

    In your particular circumstance (being who you are) the better thing to admit would be "I don't know"... because if you offer anything else I will only ask you what was the cause of that whatever you offer (other than God).

    You will find that when Incorporeal can't find answers for your questions you be on ignore. You will also find that you get few legitimate responses as well.

    The brain and the nervous system.

    With input and all else that the nervous system encompasses (just in case you should go there again).

    Ask away.

    Yes, it seems to be standard procedure.

    Where is your PROOF... absolute, irrefutable and undeniable?

    Please name EVERY possible and conceivable method of 'input' that the brain might be responsive to. Do not omit any possibilities.

    Your reading comprehension apparently has failed again. My statement, in relevant part was "the better thing to admit would be "I don't know"... because if you offer anything else I will only ask you what was the cause of that whatever you offer (other than God)." In other words, if you should have responded with anything other than a statement indicating that God is that ultimate cause, you would be questioned... then you tell me to "ask away"?

    I don't see any math here so there is nothing to offer proof for. However, as far as evidence is concerned, it gets no more difficult than this: Putting out the brain puts out any sign of cognitive abilities.

    Gods are merely the imaginary creations of primitive, ignorant, superstitious humans, nothing more.

    Well of course, that same technology that you are seemingly ascribing to would equally apply to the scientific minds of the world.

    As for the alleged absence of math: Your comment regarding such an absence of math, simply shows how little you know about the Bible. The most famous accounting of the mathematical processes which are mentioned in the Bible is that which is found in Revelation "Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six. " < http:// www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?
    strongs=G5585 > ... I do believe that your ignorance of the Bible is made manifest.

    So you resort to your childhood state when you are confronted with a FACT that you cannot refute. Interesting.

    I resort to laughter when confronted with complete and total nonsense.

    Are you suggesting that mathematics is NOT mentioned in the Bible? When a word in the Bible, by definition, points to a process or processes of mathematics then there is no refutation of that matter. Mathematics was and is mentioned in the Bible. So your ridicule and your inability to refute my claim is the only subject that is deserving of laughter.

    The bible is NOT a math instructional book. It IS a book about the beliefs, superstitions, myths and a bit of the history of a minor mid-east tribe. Just because it says go kill 99 cows, does NOT mean it is speaking about math. Nothing in the bible is about MATH. If and when numbers are mentioned, they are counts, or measurements, unless they are superstitious nonsense (as in the number of the beast/man). Gee Zeus and Baal are mentioned in the bible, does that mean the bible is about Baal and Zeus?

    By the way, since the Hebrews supposedly spent time in Egypt,then is is likely that any math they may have knowledge of, might have originated in that land.

    Did I say it was a "math instructional book"? My goodness what tremendous leaps of logic you implement.


    From leaps of logic to leaps of personal opinion. I would say that your mind is in a constant flux where you are left adrift in a sea of thoughts and are grabbing at any and all that appear to be on a solid foundation.

    I don't recall reading that particular passage in the Bible. Where is it found? At any rate, the mathematical process also includes the process of 'counting'.

    But you just stated that "just because it says go kill 99 cows, " that directive would involve the mathematical process of counting ... otherwise, you might kill 10 or even 10000 and believe that you killed 99. Now, "nothing" is a very shallow subject. Can you define that term "nothing"?


    There you go,,, refuting the claim that you made just a few lines previous.


    So 'counting' or 'measuring' take on a different meaning when it comes to dealing with "superstitious nonsense"? What is the new meaning of the terms 'counting' and 'measuring' when they are applied to 'superstitious nonsense'? Yes! It does mean that the Bible is about Baal and Zeus.... they are mentioned in the Bible... So a portion of the Bible is about them as well as other instances where the Bible is about 'math'.

    Potentially, but neither you nor I were there to witness such event, so who can really say? All you or I know from the printed material is that which someone else wrote down... we cannot attest to the validity or accuracy of those former writings (including the Bible).
    So what is your point?
