Because the process of consciousness is not even defined yet as a scientific process, the creation of life is very limited and finite; as for God being responsible: he is the deity we theists believe responsible for the haunting pattern that keeps showing in everything we discover.
Or; in other words: he is the one behind science.
When I asked the above question you responded to, I was hoping for something besides more fallacious arguments.
You entire response here is nothing but an argument from ignorance and god of the gaps.
"Since X is currently unexplained by science, I'll just cram my god into the gap in scientific knowledge". What you are doing is no different than theists hundreds or thousands of years ago, attributing: lightning, disease, earthquakes, floods, etc, etc, so some god or another.
Now they are explained as natural phenomena, no gods needed.
YOu are doing the exact same thing, with consciousness, as our ancestors did with lightning.

Please support this claim with demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument, and valid and sound logic.
Please, no more fallacious arguments.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
