Its pretty simple stuff. But if you start from the precept that computers are machines and the brain isn't a machine, so one has nothing to do with the other, then you aren't going to be able to see it. Why isn't the brain a machine anyhow? Because it doesn't have any discernable control panel?

--- The evidence that the brain is a machine is what exactly? ---

To preempt the obvious retort, let me add that saying that the brain is a physical object that follows natural laws doesn't cut it. If just that made something a "machine," then oceans and nebulae and rocks would be machines.
