I actually want way more technology than we have today. I sure would like a model 2.0 body of flesh. This one wears out easy and is prone to pick up defects. Of course when we figure out how to clone bodies and transfer the mind I would be happy with that for a while.
You and Jo were taken in with the movie avatar I guess. The mind is due to the arrangement of atoms known as the brain. There is no separable software residing in the hardware of the brain that could be transferable.
Kolob’s set time is “one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest” (Abraham 3:4). I take this as a round number. - Gee

Yes, and no. Human brains are pretty similar in physiology. The mind is a different quality of that physiology.

Please present the scientific research that substantiates that the mind is due to anything other than the arrangement of the matter making up the brain.

My wife used to learn - amomg others - nuclear physics, after graduating she could have worked for Institute of Physics, University of Debrecen. Instead, she has chosen to become a math-phys teacher. She has taught in middle school (high in US...) and in college.
She believes in flood, don't find any negative in the Elisha's bear story (today's topic of institute) and TBM since two decades. And she refuses to read the essays on LDS.org, because "to your liar internet anybody can put anything on". (her words...)
Hi ludwigm - not sure if you want to effect a change in her at this late time in your lives, but if you do and are looking for a way to crack the shell, pretend that you are interested in the isochron method of dating and tell her you can't understand it and want her to explain to you how it works since she understands nuclear physics.

She would explain it... I have no problem with her knowledge. It is about her faith above knowledge. *** She is coaching church members' sons and daughters (gratis...), many times she hands down they to me --- not a problem, I like to teach.
*** Teaching is like plantage of a tree. In my whole life, I used to teach 1000 members of Hungarian Army. Maybe 800, maybe 1200.

Take it down a level. I am discussing the physics of what goes on in the brain.

I wonder if it would help to point out to her that it is possible to remain a member of the Church in good standing without necessarily taking the Noah's Flood story literally. There are temple recommend holding geology professors at BYU who acknowledge that it couldn't/t possibly be literally true.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Is the brain a deterministic device? Does the body contain a soul? Your answers to these basic questions determines if you are even qualified to discuss the subject.
