Evolution Trumps Creationism

[Zazzy]

youre proably thinking of living awareness. As in a monkey or dog is aware that he is alive.

That is what consciousness means- awareness. And since my dogs aren't even on the median level of dog intelligence, I don't have much respect for dog consciousness currently.

So what would remain after 6000 years give or take?

Why is 6,000 years the timeframe you are working with? Is it because that is the generally accepted creationist-derived age of the universe?

So I ask again what could possiably be provided to be offered as proof?

And I say again, I don't know. I'm not making a claim; you are. It would be up to you to provide evidence.

I am saying just because there is no proof of life does not mean one could not have lived.

There is all sorts of proof of life- there's a whole science- Biology- based around it. Are you talking about life after death?

What about soul? It seem we both need a word that describes the level of consciouness that would only include the higher brain functions found only in man.

There's freaky evidence that higher brain functions are not limited to man, but since I know what you're saying, I won't press that point.

Since you still haven't defined "soul" adequately, I can't say I'm comfortable with that term. But if it will move this conversation along, sure. Soul it is.

Since you said you couldn't say that souls were immaterial, does that mean you think they could have a physiological/genetic basis? Because that really would be problematic for reasons I'll get into if you like.
