Yes you are. You can't support your claims, so you just repeat them.

And stop calling me an atheist, jester.

I called the response atheist, not you.

An unorthodox belief in God.
Is that like how your evidence and beliefs are Christian, but you aren't?

Rambling bald assertions unsupported by or contradicted by all available evidence is one of the hallmarks of religious belief, and other types of irrational belief systems.

Conspiracy theories, flat-earthers, Realien believers, to name a few.

This has nothing to do with beliefs about God, it has everything to do with the rejection of reality and evidence that contradicts your beliefs.

You are so incredibly, and willfully, ignorant it's not even funny anymore. It saddens me that people like yourself exist. There are many, many books, pamphlets, scientific papers, web sites, etc... that explain biology and evolution. All you have to do is a little research. No, the buy-bull thumping sites that start with a conclusion (as you so erroneously do) do not count. Find scientific sources, even if they're grade school level (my recommendation for your level of ignorance) and educate yourself.

Or, blindly flail away in your comfortable, willful ignorance, remaining blind to the true beauty of the world, indeed the universe, around you. I'm sure that's what you'll do.

How are you defining consciousness? Self-awareness? The ability to empathize? Reason?


My source is the animals themselves, I have NEVER seen an animal in 59 years of living that can reason with me, talk to me, tell me how to get to Texas, or explain to me why I am black.

It would appear that your standard of consciousness appears to be the ability to communicate with you.

How utterly predictable and fallacious.

Yes. I have to use what is available that I agree with. Truth is scattered around and you have to be picky with it. I am forced to use some Christian material, and I don't like doing it.

There are no group materials which believe like me, with perhaps the exception of two websites; and I been kicked out of them both. They are called " Universalist", similar in belief to me.

Oh I love science, my daughter teaches it in high school. I just finished Julian Jaynes " The Origin of Consciousness in the Bi cameral mind." Stunning read, excellent and hard read too. Science as a whole, oh I am woefully ignorant, yes. But I am smart enough to NEVER call anyone ignorant.

Because, up to and including this post, you have not presented any evidence. None whatsoever. Bare assertions and arguments from ignorance, but not the least shred of evidence.

Open your mind and read some science!

That's one of them, yes. One on a long list that no animal could ever even fulfill 1/10th of.

Its being rejected. I give my reason, my evidence, its just not evidence accepted

It's not that your evidence is being refused. What you're providing isn't evidence. It's been explained to you over and why it isn't. It's your failing that leads to continued dismissals of your ridiculous, unsupported claims.

Again, predictable. You appear to be completely unaware of the research in this field.
