A Simple Question

When the brain dies, the physical processes that generate awareness, thoughts, memories, and self-awareness terminate, causing the consciousness to disappear.

Citation?

The statement that consciousness disappears when the brain dies, due to the termination of the physical processes that generate it, is a foundational tenet of modern neuroscience and neurobiology

Contextual Note: While some researchers investigate Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and temporary bursts of brain activity (gamma oscillations) during cardiac arrest, the predominant scientific consensus remains that consciousness terminates once brain death is complete.

those are just opinions of people. I couldnt care less about what some second class scientist thinks. He doesnt even know what awareness is, to be able to relate it to pure matter.

You can always counter with opposing citations.

dont need to. You might as well quote cartoon citations.

The biological SSD creates the illusion of existence.

None of those studies has researchers actually kill themselves so they can see first hand if consciousness ends. They are assuming it. 

I can actually show you a study where the researchers dies and comes back and then talks about what happens to consciousness and that study is called the Bible and the reaearcher is my lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Humans have to earn that gift before they can come back from the dead with their brain fully intact.

It's unearned but this is not about returning but how consciousness stayed in tact the 3 days the researcher was biologically dead

No brain scan was done to prove the state of the brain. Resurrection is a very very rare state. It’s a godlike quality.

This is actually a hilarious response. 10/10, no notes

Unfortunately he has no other examples to back his position. The resurrection of Jesus was one of a kind never to be repeated again.

If Jesus paved the path for resurrection then he is the only human to walk on that path. The lack of other resurrection cases questions his motives.
