Week 4: A Glorious Piece of Meat (post 2)

This film ends with a quotation that had me thinking, because it deals with our soul possibly being nothing. Francis Crick, "What we take to be the soul is nothing more than a complex network of neurons." I disagree with Crick on many levels, our soul is something that we just cant take a magnifying glass and look at the soul into depth, so how can Crick even begin to believe this statement to be a reliable and efficient source of "data." However, Crick possibly is a scientist and this makes sense to believe from that scientific standpoint and background.

Overall, there are many people out there that can state something and truly believe what they are stating, and at the same time there can be many people out there like me who disagree with what is being said. I'm the type of person that needs to see something to believe it. Crick states that our soul is nothing more than a complex network of neurons, well this may be true, however, we don't know for sure what our soul is composed of, so why start stating false information when there may be more to the soul than no human being can put into perspective or believe to even be true, if that?
