The real question is whether (human) consciousness is a result of the interactions of matter or transcends them somehow and is something more fundamental. Your wording begs the question that it is the latter, so what you have done here is combined one trivial claim with a bare assertion which needs to be demonstrated first.


Congratulation Alex.  Worship
Among all the garbage of replies yours is the only one that has got some sense.

Some sense only not full sense however.
Suppose the universe doesn't have a mind behind it.
Just matter, water, energy, air and space.
How do you think that such a material composition can create something so much more superior as the
mind-consciousness in humans?
I'm not sure, but I'm reading Dan Dennett's "consciousness explained" which I can only recommend to you as well; and I tend to agree with his ideas so far. I'll be able to articulate them more precisely when I'm done with it.
Quote:If you think so then you also can say that a chicken can give birth to a human.
It is always the great that is able to create the small not the other way around.  Lightbulb
Even if this principle were true, which I'm not sure - greatness is a very vague measure here - is consciousness greater than the materialistic world? That seems to be an entirely subjective judgement.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
