Understanding the workings of the brain
18:46 - 23:50 (05:04)
The current state of scientific knowledge is that we understand the basic chemistry and how neurons fire, but we are far from understanding the workings of the 85 billion neurons in the brain. Therefore, we need to know more about the physical workings of the brain before we can assess the existence of non-physical influences.

The current scientific knowledge on the workings of the brain is limited, as we are still far from understanding the 85 billion neurons present in it, and while we may understand the basic chemistry and how neurons fire, we still have a long way to go to say with certainty whether there are non-physical influences on the brain or not.
