Sounds right to me.

After all, that is exactly what leads to religious fundamentalism.
Also causation is not equivalence.

The study is inconclusive.
The truth is the spirit and brain matter are mutually exclusive. While the body, soul and spirit are inextricably linked, only the death of the body can separate the spirit and soul from the body, but an unregenerate spirit keeps one separated from God.

Is that because God only exists in the mind?
Don't take it personal Ghost, it's not meant as an insult. It has to be said. It's a matter of life and death.

An atheist doesn't believe in God because they are unconvinced of His existence. An atheist doesn't became an atheist out of fear of something he doesn't believe in. That's just silly. - This of course has been explained to you numerous times and no doubt will require doing so again in the future.
Please don't take the above personally. It has to be said. It's a matter of intellectual growth.
