[Fester Chugabrew]

Brain waves, pulse, and respiration are not things. They are processes possible on account of the way things are organized. But you seem to be convinced that "you" are co-terminous with the material that makes up your flesh, and there is nothing beyond that. That's okay. A good many people believe as much. But I would not be so bold as to say whether science is, or is not, capable of determining that you consist of more than the material that comprises your body. It is the work of science, after all, to explore what we do not understand.

"Brain waves, pulse, and respiration are not things. They are processes possible on account of the way things are organized."

Actually, they are measurements of processes.

"But you seem to be convinced that "you" are co-terminous with the material that makes up your flesh, and there is nothing beyond that."

I have no evidence that there is anything else.

"But I would not be so bold as to say whether science is, or is not, capable of determining that you consist of more than the material that comprises your body."

It isn't capable.

"It is the work of science, after all, to explore what we do not understand."

But it is not the work of science to make up untestable propositions and try to pass them off as science.
