The mind and consciousness are organ functions. The fact that the organ does not fully understand itself is evidence of nothing. There are a couple of things that we do know about the brain. 1. It evolved from a simpler reptilian brain. 2. It has the capacity to invent bullshit gods. J.
If neruoscience and philosophy of mind cannot agree what the "mind" is, or the question of how does consciouness arise, does that mean there is a God? Specifically, does that mean there is the traditional monotheistic God whose attributes are Omnipotence (all powerful), Omniscience (all knowing), and Omnibenvolent (all loving)? Is it "supernatural"? Something else? Or, is this just an arguement from ignorance?
