Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[Mr Greene]

Pretty much all I know about dark matter and dark energy, I've learned from watching Neil Degrasse Tyson documentaries. The Ted Talk I posted had a piece at the end where the speaker was talking about researching patterned microwaves (actually sound waves) were detected on earth, and were assessed to be related to dark matter creating a invisible web-like scaffolding throughout the universe that has shaped all matter. She explores how dark matter would effect the way that normal matter evolves over time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYH_nFwMXRM

Well for starters I think you need to learn how to post links, because that one doesn't work.

I don't think I can explain my opinion on the term of "consciousness" any better than the way I did in my last post. Is there something in particular you do not understand?

As stated there are strong overtones of Deepak Chopra which is an immediate warning klaxon.

I'm have not been bamboozled. I've been studying consciousness from every angle I possibly could for quite a many years. This is what I've gathered from my personal observations, experience and research. You can take it or leave it.

In all honesty, this thread was about trying to get you all to share with me about what in science sways your opinion. I want to know about your perspectives on consciousness and the nature of existence. If you're not totally convinced (as I've been assured over and over is a strawman assumption) please share with me, what are you thoughts on the science of consciousness, astrophysics, quantum physics, epigenetics? Do you find it as fascinating as I do? What does it make you think about the nature of reality?

I shared. Now it's your turn.

Certainly astronomy and biology are major interests of mine, I have a BSc in Applied Zoology, whilst a fair section of my personal library is by the late Patrick Moore OBE.
As for the variations on the Goldilocks Universe idea, which is where you seem to be heading. I think you have the cart before the horse.
1) Space is big... I refer to Copernicus as to our place within it.
2) We have evolved to adapt to our environment. You may characterize me as Neo-Darwinian.
3) Origins of the Universe. Start with A Brief History of Time by S. Hawking and A Universe From Nothing by L Krauss.

If you're looking for evidence of consciousness you are confined to this biosphere until SETI gets something positive.
