How do you know?

All available information suggests that consciousness is a result of brain function. If you have evidence that consciousness can continue even after brain function ceases, please present it.

Physical consciousness maybe. How do you know there is no spiritual consciousness?

If you want to reply, please do it privately. I don't think this thread is the place for such a discussion.

Or, the other way around. Brain function could be a result of consciousness which may well arise "elsewhere", perhaps in the 95% of existence which is hidden from our ability to sense it.

Thats BS! Information rejected is not non existent information.
You dodged the question, the honest answer is you don't know.
No one ever uses this argument. It is a complete and total strawman.
Define this, Be specific. Give citations.
Provide evidence. Got a citation for this?
Support this claim with evidence.
All premises in science are materialistic. Science can't make meaningful statements about anything else.
Perhaps you could make a real fool out of me by stating something in science that is proven.
Are you just going to blow me off again for daring to suggest that your assertions be supported?
