The mind is the most obvious thing which sets apart human beings from animals. Mind is not synonymous with 'brain'.
The mind has the capacity for thought, including imagination, foresight, analysis, and emotion, which in various ways use the powers of the brain.
The faculties such as compassion, empathy, and the desire for justice, point to man as God's greatest creation.
Materialists refuse to consider any supernatural aspect of the mind, such as the possibility that it survives death. This is not scientific: the assumption that the mind is a physical phenomena is pseudoscience.
