> In fact, to argue against it is by definition to argue for the existence of the supernatural.

There was a relatively recent HN submission regarding a proposal that our memories are stored in molecules that outlive synaptic connections (more or less). One commenter pointed out that the principle author advocated a theory which says that at some deep level our brains interact with quantum mechanics and that this is the source of our consciousness.

Therefore, it seems that there are 3 possibilities depending on your beliefs - physical, quantum, supernatural.

I tried to find the article, the author, and the comment, but my Google Fu is weak when it comes to searching HN.

Quantum is physical. Just because some popular writers don't understand the math behind it doesn't turn it into a mystical "get out of causality and reason" card.
