So we are talking about whether consciousness could evolve or not. I guess we should first define what is consciousness and what in it could not evolve. Also, do other beings have consciousness, like gorillas? And if gorillas have consciousness could it evolve or is it unexplained?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
