For the last several years in post after post after post after post I have been explaining in detail exactly why there MUST be a relationship between intelligence and consciousness or Darwin's theory was wrong. If you disagree then show me the point in my reasoning where you think I made an error and we'll discuss it, and who knows maybe we'll even come to some sort of agreement.

As Niels Bohr, the greatest physicist of the 20th century after Einstein, said "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it". Unlike relativity which could have been discovered 300 years ago just by thinking (provided you were smart enough) no philosopher or physicist would EVER come up with a idea as crazy as Quantum Mechanics if they weren't forced to do so by exparament.
