Who made you an expert on consciousness? You're not a neurologist, far as I can tell. If you've made some kind of breakthrough in the neuro sciences that involve actually seeing the consciousness, but in way not involving physical eyes or senses, then where's your Nobel Prize?
Didn't think so.

Sperm whale brain is 5-6 time bigger and yet her consciousness is so much smaller.
Have you ever talked to a Sperm Whale? How do you know that it has a comparatively smaller consciousness? Again, are you a neurologist?

...the brain size does not always go hand in hand with consciousness.
And you are living, breathing proof of this fact! Congratulations!

Ok. tomorrow i bring you God in a silver plate.
The problem however is that you want be able to see him because you haven't developed enough your consciousness.
If I can't sense him the same way you do, then your evidence for God is not demonstrable, and I should reject the claim outright.

I could not agree more.
Oh by the way who was that guy that told me that in order to believe whether God exist or not someone should first bring evidence?
So where is the effort in looking?
I was that guy, and I can see that you have no concept of how to proceed with a claim.
Chas explained that it's okay if we don't know something. When spoke about looking for the answers though, you immediately thought he was talking about God. Looking for answers about God presupposes that a God even exists, which is not something that is naturally derived from simply looking at the universe.
During our search for answers about the world around us, people like you come to us with claims about God, trying to stop us from searching any further because your God can answer all the questions we have. However, it's not up to us to prove if your God is real; on the contrary, it's your claim, so the proof is all yours.
