The secret WHERE exaclty????
Please define sentience, and how it arises spontaneously from organic and inorganic compounds, RNA, cellular structure, and neuronal constructs while locally violating the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. I'm just askin'.
I can't think of any other way this is possible to explain sceintifically except through some intelligent designer if you're referring to consciousness and the superiornatural apects of higher thinking, cognitive thought etc. in higher animal forms.
The beauty of it all is it can not be separated from nature by anything other than a very human subjective construct and an arbitrary subjective rule, not science. The fact is, humans ARE emotive, sentient conscious beings, and science may or may not ever be able to explain sentience away, but we know it ("sentience") "IS" nevertheless.
The best scientific theory supporting this experience and indespensable facet of science itself btw, is an intelligent designer.
The fact is, without sentience, there'd BE no science as we know it, much less theories to argue about.
There are almost as many formulations of the second law as there have been discussions of it. — Philosopher / Physicist P.W. Bridgman
LOT's of people have been just sayin' apparently! :)
