You asked for evidence and I provided it. Where is your evidence? Unless you are insisting that viruses, bacteria, amoebas, ants, bats and all the rest of the animal kingdom along with algae, plankton, trees and all the rest of the plant kingdom have separate consciousnesses, then your argument fails miserably as all life functions just fine without it.
Consciousness is a byproduct of the brain. No more, no less. And yes, all lifeforms with brains have some level of consciousness and all living things have some level of awareness. It is all based on chemical reactions, gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
