> Granted that consciousness is not fully understood, can we not agree that it is entirely manifest in the brain?
I don't think we can agree on that. There certainly are many claims of consciousness existing beyond the human body. For example, see a "Unified Field" of consciousness.
> I mean, you don't believe that human consciousness somehow survives the body after brain death, do you?
Literally billions of people believe it does (see: pretty much all major religions). Maybe human consciousness doesn't survive brain death, but some other form of consciousness does?
