(August 26, 2015 at 11:22 am)Whateverist the White Wrote: I guess the first question that comes to mind would be how does the consciousness energy flowing through the filament of my brain result in the feeling of consciousness? What I mean is some might say that calling it energy is switching names but not really enlightening.
What would we call an electrical impulse if not energy? Perhaps these impulses are not sending us feelings. Perhaps the energy itself being sentient is what is feeling love, pain, joy, compassion, fear or whatever. We can't find any part of the brain outside the electric impulses that's feeling things we could interpret as consciousness so why not look at the impulses themselves as what constitutes "I?"
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
