Is There a Way from Split-Brain Cases to the Trinity?

Summary/Abstract: The trinity is one of the most controversial doctrines in Christianity. To its critics, the main problem that makes the trinity so controversial is how it is that God can be one being and three different persons at the same time. For, according to the trinity doctrine, these three divine persons mentioned are not identical to each other, but despite this, all three are one and the same God. This situation was seen as problematic by many Christian scholars and different explanations were developed. One of the recently proposed solutions to this problem is split-brain cases that claims an entity can be more than one person, based on the psychological state of patients whose brain hemispheres are separated from each other. In this way, an example would have been found for God to be three persons at the same time. The most important feature of split-brain disease is that patients whose brain hemispheres are disconnected from each other appear to have two different streams of consciousness at the same time, unaware of each other. It is as if there is more than one person inhabiting in a single body. Because the hemispheres that are separated from each other can have desires, wishes and decisions independent of each other from time to time, at least in experimental environments.
