Philip Payne claims ancient Greek thought regarded the heart, not the brain, as the control center

Male Headship: Is it REALLY Biblical? Women in Ministry part 8 00:14:50 – 00:15:51

Mike presents Philip Payne's version of the medical argument.

Philip Payne argues that modern science regards the brain as the control center (reinforcing 'head' as leader), but this was not the consensus in ancient Greek thought. He claims some medical writers argued for the brain, but Plato moved the command center to the heart. Payne quotes Plato to support this claim.
