[Heartlander]

There is not evidence that consciousness came from anything but matter.

Why? Where is this evidence… IA comes from intelligence. Your intelligence comes from mindlessness and you have evidence? Do tell…

"Why? Where is this evidence… IA comes from intelligence. Your intelligence comes from mindlessness and you have evidence? Do tell…"

I said there was no evidence of anything but matter causing consciousness. That is a fact. The evidence for the mind coming from matter is the brain and the nervous system. The evidence for mind coming from something else that is non-material is.... nonexistent. Does that mean we have a complete understanding of the mind? Hardly. Resorting to non-material causes that cannot be falsified is just folly though. It doesn't work in any other scientific endeavor and there is no reason to believe it will in this case.

And Iowa (IA) does not come from intelligent design.
