This may be hard for you to accept, but we actually do know a good
deal about how the brain works, and there is nothing to suggest that
it is inadequate to account for the phenomena of mind. I suppose there
*could* be an immaterial force at work, just as gravity *could* be
supplemented by angels pulling objects downward, but there is no
particular reason to consider either possibility.


Since you seem very unclear on a concept essential to science, I'll
repeat this once again. In the case of gravity, we have a sufficient
and reproducible explanation to account for the phenomenon.


Since you seem unclear on the concept, the brain *is* a sufficient
explanation, your personal incredulity aside.

Angels as the cause of gravity is also sufficient, hence the added
criterion of reproducibility.


As far as
"reproducible", I'm unclear as to how you're applying it to either
gravity or the brain.

Anyone can reconstruct the inverse square law at will with found
masses. Your story about of the brain being sufficient for the mind is
not similarly reproducible. Where is your list of measurable causes
through which the brain produces the mind so that someone else can
duplicate the result? Nowhere.


Your
materialist fairytale is not supported by the data simply because you
think "there is nothing to suggest" it is wrong. Such a conclusion is
consistent with non-falsifiability, though I suppose that's apropos
