Spiritualists and theists, what does the brain do? (See details)

Scottish Physician and man of letters, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said, “I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” Of course, as the author of the Sherlock Holmes novels, he was intensely interested in evidence. Great detectives may follow a hunch, but never let it become their sole light in the darkness.
