Materialists argue we are essentially brains with legs - what your brain does is who you are. No brain function - no person. In this episode and the next, I am joined by neuroscientist and Christian, Dr. Paul LaPenna, for a fascinating conversation on the relationship between brain function and who we are as soul-bearing individuals. What does it mean if someone’s personality changes after brain trauma? Does existence continue in the absence of brain function? What about near death experiences or end of life stories of encounters with the supernatural? What does it mean if dementia wipes out memories of coming to Christ? And is there such a thing as gendered brains?
