Crick

Well, I don't believe in Crick's argument that we do not have souls, and that humans don't have a conscience. I am a Christain, and therefore believe that I have a soul, I make decisions based on my concience and my set of moral beliefs, and these don't necessarily have to do with neurons. I do, however, as a science major, believe that these beliefs and values that I have, some part of my conscience, are stored in my brain in different sections according to what type of memory they are. Our memory is made up of cell bodies, which can contain some level of conscience. And the decisions I decide to make based on these are carried out by neurons. At the same time, though, I do believe that as a Christian, my soul is a separate part entirely.
