I guess I really don’t understand your argument.
I don’t buy the notion that consciousness is merely a product of the brain; and I believe that other animals may have some degree or type of ‘consciousness’.
But the Human is the one that appears to have developed to the point, and with the capabilities, that we have. And unless you believe that we were created out of ‘whole cloth’ à la Genesis, how do you believe we got here, and developed to the state that we exhibit today?
“how do you believe we got here, and developed to the state that we exhibit today?”
My answer is one that everyone will hate.
We have no &^%$ing clue.
Humans are much dumber than they think they are.
One theory is that the brain is an antenna and consciousness exists outside the brain in another dimension. Consciousness is a type of magnetic field generated similarly as a signal is transmitted from a radio tower.
The question then becomes…is the brain sending or receiving? If it is receiving, then from where does the energy originate? If it is sending, then to where and to what is it sending.
