I stated not long ago that i had purchased the book by Dr. michael egnor and denyse o’leary, the immortal mind: a neurosurgeon’s case for the existence of the soul, worthy publishing, new york, nashville, 2025. as planned, i shall include selected excerpts from the book that apply to points i have made in my books and blogs from my own research extending well over a quarter of a century. where i may disagree with a given point made by these authors, i shall endeavor to explain the reason why. for the greatest part i have found no significant disagreements and highly recommend this book.
the mind of man, created as it was/is in the image of the mind of god, is an immaterial entity that interacts with the material, physical synaptic networks of the brain of man. the authors show that it is also immortal, created to be eternal, irreducible to the material brain.
i look forward to presenting my discussions of the excerpts taken from the text of this outstanding book. along the way i shall also emphasize the role of information instantiated within ALL that god has created, the manifestation of god’s creativity and purpose. we must be aware that our concept of the biblical god may be entirely too small.
so i invite you to read on, and i thank you for your interest in learning to know more about our god, our lord and savior.
