I love Harris, but I hate his defending " spirituality".

We know what gravity is even though we have yet to figure out the cause.

Consciousness is no different than any other aspect of nature. It is an outcome of nature, just like one water molecule is nothing by itself, but with the right atmospheric conditions can collect over time to end up in organized hurricane or snow blizzard.

Cognition is simply a result of evolution.
