"Perception" of your exterior environment and reaction to it, perhaps? Self regulatory systems in complex organisms sans "mind"?
Heh, I posted this as one of "proofs" I believed proves a Creator, in my first thread here.
Like I said, it's an argument from semi-ignorance. For all I know, there can possibly be a scientific explanation, but it just seems impossible from my perspective right now.
As I haven't really discussed this topic (people ignored it except Rayaan who agreed with it on the first post I posted here)...so I don't believe in it per se, it just helps boost the emotional hope that a higher power exists.
Well perception is there, but it can't be like a computer perceiving im puts. There has to be a living perceiver.
It can't go from perceiving in a computer sense, non-conscious perceiver, to conscious perceiver, by simply mutations in one step. But there has to be essentially a step.
Like I said, I'm going to discuss with scientists hopefully and will get back to you on it.
Of course I shouldn't expect people here who don't know about biology of concsiousness etc, to refute this.
