The brainstem is responsible for heart and lung function.
The brain is responsible for almost all other functions.
The pineal gland iS our conscience.
When you get knocked out, your brain will "shut down" due to the stress of what just happened. Just like fear, pain or sickness. Your brain stem is still functioning when you are knocked out because it needs to keep your heart and lungs going.
There is a baby that was born with just a brain stem and no brain but was still alive.
our pineal gland is what the hindus refer to as the "third eye" or our "mind's eye". It also is responsible for sleep. So since it is vital to our sanity, it is for sure responsible for consciousness.
Quoting: djfxw Isn't saying the pineal gland is our consciousness or that it is responsible for our consciousness akin to saying that the radio is or is responsible for the music it is playing? The idea that matter generates consciousness itself is a product of the materialistic worldview, but along with that comes the assumption that unconscious matter somehow produces consciousness. How it might do this is completely unknown, but that doesn't stop the assumption that it is still true. That doesn't make sense and is completely an article of faith, but it is heartily accepted nonetheless (without a hint of being aware of the irony) because no ground shall be ceded in the everlasting foodfight with the theists. This turf war would seem to be holding back science big time because both models seem to be outdated but the material model still holds sway in academe and though it can't explain anything about the existence of consciousness, it regards any attempts at a consciousness as primacy to be nothing but woo.
