Can Consciousness Best Be Explained by God's Existence?
#9
RE: Can Consciousness Best Be Explained by God's Existence?
I agree with what Rasetsu said, except that I'd go further (probably too far) and add that explaining anything by way of something itself unexplainable just won't work. I mean it really isn't an explanation at all. Unless you start with knowledge of gods -which I certainly don't have- they can't very well shed any light on anything.

I've always felt -from my atheist point of view- that to say that god is the cause of anything is tantamount to admitting the problem is beyond you. "God only knows." An explanation should provide a footing for something not yet understood in that with which we are more familiar. 'God' is too controversial to provide that foundation.
