[/quote] What makes you think this? Why not use authoritative knowledge instead of trying to manufacture some idea? [/quote] Is there any authorative knowledge on the nature of consciousness...we're not exactly dealing with facts here... Where consciousness is concerned it's all just philosophy. So my notion is as valid as any... [/quote]
Original Message
The individual unit of consciousness.
Humans are conscious, animals and insects are conscious, even plants and trees are conscious to some degree.
Some people feel consciousness is just a combination of chemicals, and that when you die your consciousness is gone.
This is an attempt to get a good discussion going on consciousness.
Do you think science will ever "create" consciousness via combination of chemicals?
Or do you think
Chemicals come from Life?
