Just because we don't understand exactly how the brain works, I don't know where you say output should come from if not from input, and not from an ethernal out-of-this-world being like the soul.

Oh... so what you said I call "magic" is what you call "God." And as you say... just because we don't know how the brain works, that doesn't mean it is
not capable of producing output that is more than its input. But ascribing that to a "soul" or "God" is simply selling the brain short... first it's a "meat calculator," and now you're calling it a "receiver" for Divine Input. Nope, I don't buy that, either.
I guess you just can't accept the possibility that the brain may be capable of things beyond our present understanding? I don't have a problem accepting that premise at all, because I do understand how little we really know about biology and psychology.
