What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
RE: What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
I think consciousness, as we see it, is just a front. It's a kind of readout, which somehow produces an "experience", and gives the illusion of control and choice. But really, it's just telling a story.

I see no reason why non-life can't also experience things, but just have no way to display it like we do.

The idea of the "experience" is the super whacky part that I doubt I'll ever get my head round. It seems to be both an illusion, and possibly the only "reality" there is (we create realities by perceiving them). I don't know if science will ever get on top of it. I can't see how I can ever be sure anyone else is actually experiencing anything like I am. I'm forever trapped in a certain point of view which is inherently subjective.
Feel free to send me a private message.
