Humans are not always rational beings. Every once in a while you hear amazing stories of people who pulled off amazing feats or beat the odds. Some of these can be explained away, others can't. I can mesure brain activity with an EEG. I can see the graphs created by the Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Theta waves. But does that really mean we have any understanding or experience of the thought besides the person who experienced it?
And this whole thread is about thoelogical and philosophical arguments. The simple fact that you can't bottle good or evil relegates this entire conversation to that realm.
