[ The very act of 'conceptualizing' is outside of the spacetime realm the scientist measures, albeit still linked to the structure and chemistry of the brain. ]

WHat if ideas originate NOT in the brain but in the spirit.. and the human brain is mechanical like a "telephone".. and just transduces ideas relaying them.. from the spiritual dimension/realm to the fleshly/material realm/ one..

Well, let’s look at that for a moment. What you’ve hit upon is the dichotomy, where the soul of life is supposed to be outside of spacetime of the lifeless structures like molecules, yet the act of conceptualizing is spread out over hundreds of thousands of cells in the brain generating electromagnetic signals, which when considered together through interaction achieve a conceptualization ‘back’ to the non-physical soul of life. The very act of conceptualizing appears to be an emergent phenomenon achieved throguh the interaction of a very large number of non-conscious elements having some level of life as units in an organism having consciousness individuality based upon connected smaller non-conscious units.

Have often thought that must be at least partially true.

To one who doesn't understand radio waves, a radio might seem to be mostly self-contained and a malfunction in the radio might support that conclusion in his view - much like the physical brain might seem to be mostly self-contained to a materialist who doesn't understand the spiritual. To him, malfunctions of the physical brain would support his notion that there is no ghost in the machine.
