I challenge atheists to explain consciousness.

I challenge you to explain it. Can you do so without saying “God willed it to be so”? Because, that’s not an explanation. That’s just substituting one unknowable for another.

For the record, not an atheist. Just another wishy washy agnostic.

I have no idea what consciousness is.

That's the point.

But mine exists. I'm not sure about yours.

Science has no idea what consciousness is either. Quantum physics touches it, but doesn't even attempt to examine it.

Are you arrogant enough to believe that your consciousness is the highest degree of consciousness in the universe?
