So does this happy little notion of the physical scientists mean that "brains" cause wars, commit murders, rape, pillage, "ethnic cleansings," etc.?

That is exactly what the notion means. If they'd think about it rationally, surely they'd realize how absurd it is.

Even some mathematicians believe they will someday create artificial intelligence capable of qualia (can be experienced but not conveyed such as love-hate pain-pleasure) because, after all, if the physical brain can produce qualia then so can a machine. LOLOL!

Thank you oh so very much for your insights, dearest sister in Christ, and for your encouragements!

There is no exact analogy for the soul-brain arrangement, but a radio wave from a broadcasting station seems close, where a wave is generated by design, and the wave travels to a receiver for translation into the sound intended for hearing; the radio/electromagnetic wave needs a receive tuned to handle the wave and translate it into sound/compression waves.
