Well on second thought, if you accept that consciousness could emerge from absolute nothing, then I understand you're rationale.
What's nothingness?
How is consciousness as a beneficial trait of social animals "arising from nothing"?
If what you say I true, why do animals exhibit conscious behavior?

Why do animals exhibit moral behavior?

By nothingness I mean the "theory" that all things came from nothing; a black hole in space, a big bang in the nothing we call space, or life began in a magical worm hole that suddenly appear from what was not there before. Something cannot come from nothing, it did not happen like that. Even an explosion cannot occur without established reasons for it to occur. And big bang explosion do not create matter, it destroys matter.
And animals are not conscious, as we are conscious; they are very limited in their ability to think and reason, but they have excellent instincts. Again which points to a creator.

Bullshit! You love when other people curse. It gives you a convenient escape hatch when your ridiculous arguments are sent through the wood chipper.
Cursing takes away from language, and our respect for language. Its why more and more teens curse, because more and more adults curse; in this manner we slowly reduce the human language and fill it with negative nonsense. Cursing has hurt our language more than religion.
