Think I've signed up already. Not sure. When we were at Kings the other night giving a talk I saw a CFI event for the 25th April, Science and Religion, going to try and make it. May see you then

Dear Law,
I am cosmologist by passion. I often think about thinking that how we think?
Cosmology is science of the universe.
Cosmologists study the universe as a whole: its birth, growth,shape,size and eventual fate.
We try to read the 'Mind of God', but we are not “authentic” of our mind. We are not also authentic that how and why we think. My daughter Laila Khalid is co-researcher with me in this field "how we think?"
In our Theory of Mind, heart plays central role in thinking. Brain is only “memory machine” in all livings. We think with heart!
It's realy “heart blowing” and not “mind blowing” idea!
Animals without having their brain also think and are more smart than human in some cases. Our mind is in our heart, not in brain.
The human brain is not designed to be creative. The heart performs an incredible number of tasks. It lets you think, dream and experience emotions. It controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. It also controls a flood of information about the world around you from your various senses- seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, etc.
All of these tasks are controlled and regulated by heart and coordinated with brain. Our new theory of mind is a "unified theory of mind-body", a Holy Grail of Philosophy, which will also settle the mind over body problem.
Heart gives us the power to think, plan, speak,imagine......It is truly an amazing organ.
I would love any researcher to comment, share/co-author our theory in his/her research paper.
