Dead Horse

You can argue that consciousness is best explained by God's existence...

If you're the type of person who believes in Adam, Eve, and the talking snake, Noah's Ark, and all the other bullshit that lacks a shred of scientific, historical, or logical credibility.

Let me ask you something: we all use this word - how do we know what is meant by it? It's not like it can be pointed to, or explained by comparison.

It seems like consciousness is the ONE thing we can be sure of--namely, our own. And overrated?? I have no idea what that could possibly mean.
