Geeze... its good we don't use all our brain. We would be all gone just by the thought of a spoiled brat kid.

I like the hypothesis that our bodies are a chemical electrical system (though more than a battery), but I don't think we are binary, at least not in our thinking. I don't know if it's unique to humans or not, since I've not studied animals enough to have an opinion, but we are capable of seeing and understanding issues on a spectrum and of understanding a multitude of perspectives. Still, when I think about life or death issues, I think the chemistry of the combination of sperm and egg starts whatever makes us human and that once the chemistry fizzles out (or ends abruptly), that's it. No soul. No after life. What puzzles me, though, is that if one can't destroy energy or matter, what happens to that energy?
