Consciousness Trilemma

[WinterHold]

So, the brain generates the "soul", then?  

No. It received a breath from God, that turned it on.
Just like an electrical current operating a machine.

First came the creation, then the breathing of the soul. A fine creation supports the soul by design.
Consciousness cannot be without a fine creation that supports it.

The brain generates a strange current. I believe that's the soul breathed into us.

In other words; there's this verse:

Sura 2, Page 6, The Quran:

( 30 )   And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

( 31 )   And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."
( 32 )   They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise."
( 33 )   He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed."
( 34 )   And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

What did God teach us?

What are these names? I think this is the first step humanity took: realizing the surroundings; informing the angels of their names; realization. The evolutionary step that differed us from apes.

That's my own interpretation of the verse; however. Personal thoughts.

Because you had a human mommy and daddy.

What made the evolutionary step happen?
If nature is the answer; then what made nature happen, what a peculiar cause.
We'll keep tracking back until the Big Bang. 

And then we're back at step zero: what caused the Big Bang?

That verse proves nothing, and contradicts your own earlier remarks. Did god blow my consciousness/soul/mind into existence, or is the brain "rigged to generate it"?

Allow me to suggest that this is one subject where the proposition of souls and gods is entirely worthless. A subject in which the quran is not qualified to speak, because the authors knew absolutely nothing of the matter.

Evolution and many other biological findings point to how we came to be.
The soul as I understand it, influenced by the verses, is similar to the electric current operating a machine.
