Human special snowflake syndrome.
Consciousness is not rare, it is perfectly reasonable as an evolutionary adaptation, and it's incredibly naive to believe it must be the result of a being conscious pre-animal and human consciousness to create consciousness.
"I dunno, it must always have existed" is not a compelling answer for religious folks about the universe, and yet it is for consciousness? Give me a break.
The video being by the Islamic Education and Research Academy doesn't lend a whole lot of credence to the claim, either.
iERA (Islamic Education and Research Academy) is an international dawah organization founded in the United Kingdom in 2009 for proselytizing Islam.
