However, I have read through many threads and through most of the sections of this board.The trouble is *no one* can explain conciousness (yet), the various religions has suggested a "soul" as an explanation but since it is undetectable/unprovable it is just that, a suggestion, not an explanation.
I see many common arguments by religion believers. However, how should atheists counter this:
Explain to me consciousness. What on earth are the things I see and sense, if there is no soul.
The various parts of the brain responding to the input of the senses and producing "what if" responses in other parts would explain most of what goes on in my self...
