[Serious] What is the current best scientific evidence we have that shows that consciousness...

If the consciousness is independent of the brain then why don't we ever find anything that has a consciousness but doesn't have a brain? Like why don't rocks or water have consciousness?
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"
