DAVID: Autonomous intelligence results from having consciousness, for which the brain is a receiver. Consciousness is not created by the brain. It exists separate from it and when received is used by the brain (soul). We've been over all of this.

We have indeed, and you are still getting confused! Since when did you regard the brain as the soul? We have agreed time and again that if there is such a thing as the “soul”, that is what does the thinking and the brain provides information and then obeys the “soul’s” instructions. And so if consciousness (and hence autonomous intelligence) is not created by the brain – which is only a receiver – and according to you can survive the death of the brain, how can you claim that only an organism with a brain can have consciousness and autonomous intelligence?

We are still in full agreement about souls. The parenthetic 'soul' simply was a reminder that the brain was the operating point for the soul. I accept God's consciousness is everywhere, but only brains 'receive' useful consciousness with which they can functionally think.
