Theism is the position that an immensely powerful immaterial mind created and governs the universe. But what is an immaterial mind? In this talk, James Fodor considers this question in the light of cognitive science, considering the various aspects and functions that make up a mind. He argues that it is very difficult to reconcile most of what is currently known about minds with the idea that they can exist without a material substrate, especially when combined with the various traits that theists claim of the divine mind. James therefore suggests that the notion of an all-powerful and all-knowing immaterial mind may be conceptually incoherent.Credit to https://www.FesliyanStudios.com for the background music.
