• Superb argument that we are more than brains

  Stephen Ayre

  Modern materialistic science reduces people to just their brains, even their actions being determined by them. Dirckx persuasively argues that is not the case. Some pointers: it is remarkable how much human personality survives even in very damaged brains; near death experiences suggest the existence of a non-corporeal entity in our bodies (aka a soul); determinism undermines human responsibility and flies in the face of human experience (often we don't do what our bodies want to do); psychosomatic illness shows that the mind also affects the body (it is not a one-way street). Throughout Dirckx shows that this all fits with the Bible. We have minds because we were created by an entity with a mind (God), and we are made in his image. The topic of evolution is wisely avoided in this focused book. One to read and give away.
