And every single one of them purely made stuff up about God. Jesus? Muhammad? Buddha? Zarathustra? All of them did not exist, with maybe an exception of Zarathustra. Muhammad an unlettered Prophet would have been unable to read the hidden revelations of the Torah and the New Testament. Yet the Quran produces evidence and expands upon the Revelation in The Bible.Why not believe it? Because there is no evidence. There's no evidence that a rock that I pick up, which is made of matter which is one form of energy, is sentient. None. There's no evidence of consciousness apart from a brain and nervous system. None. One can imagine these things easily enough but there is a fundamental distinction between what is real and what is imaginary.
Ah yes. So with that out of the way. Since we I a theist, and you atheists both know that the Bible, as well as the other Books of Faith, are constructed by man. What stops you from believing in a Cosmic God? A universal sentience? I mean most of you on here believe in the Big Bang Theory so its not like you aren't used to believing in something absolutely ridiculous. Why not believe in something that has actual evidence for it? Like a Cosmic Sentience.
What I asserted before that Energy is the Essence of Sentience is although original from my point of view has actually been proposed more than 2,000 years ago. So there's actually a LOT of philosophy on this, and you who, decided to rebel against your Creator to seek freedom to live a life relegated to things of the flesh, do not account for anything philosophically speaking because you wanted to disprove God. You never tried to Prove God and will actively deny His Existence because you are filled with the Sin of the Flesh and the Black Miasma of Hatred.

Quote:In the philosophy of mind, panpsychism (/pænˈsaɪkɪzəm/) is the view that the mind or a mindlike aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality.[1] It is also described as a theory that "the mind is a fundamental feature of the world which exists throughout the universe."[2] It is one of the oldest philosophical theories, and has been ascribed to philosophers including Thales, Plato, Spinoza, Leibniz, William James,[3] Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell, and Galen Strawson.[1] In the 19th century, panpsychism was the default philosophy of mind in Western thought, but it saw a decline in the mid-20th century with the rise of logical positivism.[3][4] Recent interest in the and developments in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and quantum physics have revived interest in panpsychism in the 21st century.
