Why We Know the Mind is Something OTHER Than the Brain; The Case for the Soul - Part 2
"Are minds the same as brains? If they aren’t, how can we tell them apart? What evidence do we have to make such a decision? J. Warner joins Eric Hovind from Creation Today to talk about the evidence for the soul." video introduction.
Our brain is Physical, it can be measured while our mind cannot be measured. For those who insist on empirical evidence, it is prudent to point out the many ideas in physics that are theories looking for evidence i.e. they can't be measured or photographed etc.
Your physical brain is publically accessible while your thoughts are not.
Then there is "intentionality", our thoughts have a purpose, they are about something physical.
J Warner Wallace goes on to describe other ways our immaterial brain is different than the material brain.

"Qualia are the phenomenal qualities of experiences—the raw felt qualities of sensations, emotions, thoughts, or anything else. They are experienced privately, subjectively, and directly; all the content of consciousness states is made of them.
How do you know that you’re conscious?
You probably answer because you’re experiencing something—thoughts, feelings, sensations, sights, or sounds. But a camera can also have images. Does a photograph or computer screen experience the image? What’s the difference between your experience of an image and an image as an artifact? One answer is, that there is something it is like to see an image. There is nothing it is like to be a photograph (as far as we can tell)..." from the article: Qualia
