Just exactly what was that first thought that originated from a brain that was formed without any prior thought? That event would have to be the greatest ever. Well also, did the language to think that first thought develop within that unconscious brain?(March 7, 2020 at 6:15 pm)snowtracks Wrote: Mind first, then brain. That's the sequence that conforms to the Principle of Causality; as stated, Cause is always (yes always) before, and greater than the effect.Got any evidence for that claim?
ALL of the evidence indicates that mind is a result of a functioning brain. All of it.
In contrast, there is no evidence for any mind absent a physical brain, none.
And think, it all started when two stones decided to go conscious after ions had elapsed.
