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.


The problem with Dennett is that the guy guess.
Guessing and practicing are two different things.
Unlike guessing practicing bring up the knowledge within which many scholars called subconscious mind
or the part of the iceberg below the water but that is a different story.
I wouldn't give too much importance to people who think that the consciousness is a product of the brain
or that thanks to the brain we got the consciousness that we got.


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


Quote: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.


With the consciousness you can create a lot.
With the matter nothing.
Can your car create something else?
Of course not that is way that consciousness is greater.  Lightbulb
