I disagree with there being location in the body for Consciousness. We think its in our head because when we introspect, we seem to look inward on an inner space somewhere behind our eyes. But there " Is no space in anyones head at all." There is absolutely nothing in your head except physiological tissue of one sort or another.

Ok then, so why does consciousness alter entirely after brain damage?

My points are self satisfying, thats all I need. I think Consciousness is just reduced to a helpless spectator when it comes to brain damage , but only in some cases, many have received serious brain damage and regained consciousness. When we are conscious, we are always using certain parts of our brain, but Consciousness does not locate itself solely in the brain, it has no location except as we imagine it has.

Animals do not have religion, culture, history, science, transportation, agriculture, all of which are true signs of Consciousness.

Animals cannot create mobile vehicles and ride them. And animals have no common agriculture that exist in the animal kingdom for the ingestion of the whole kingdom.

Define "consciousness" rigorously. Until you can do that, it's pretty much impossible to tell whether it came from.

You haven't been rigorous, though, and that makes the idea hard to understand.

For instance,
Coinsciousness is the " Spirit in man", a spirit God gives to every human. It has no location within the body, its just there. Many
think Consciousness is located within the head, thats not necessarily so. But it is a Spirit from God, thats where we get our Consciousness, from that Spirit. It is our Intellect, our Knowledge, our Understanding and personality, it is our very being.

All physically existing entities have locations. Knowledge, meanwhile, is information stored in memory. Understanding is believed to be a process, and personality is, IIRC, a set of heuristics.

I have been simple, and will continue to be simple and short, and that makes the idea easy to understand.

It shows consciousness didnot come from evolution or nature , we didnot inherit it from the idiot hiearchies of speechless animals who had no consciousness themselves.

No it gives different ideas on where consiousness could have come from. It says right at the end that there is no definitive of where conciousness came from. Also you have no proof that animals do not have a consciouss, becasue there is no proof. You do not know.....

I have no proof that " You" can see, but plenty that I can see. All conscious beings on earth have developed a civilization of some sort, no animal has. All conscious beings have developed an educational system, no animal has. All conscious beings have developed some kind of religion and science, no animal has.

Which is absolute proof to me that the reason they have not, is because they are not conscious beings.

I am not asking you to be simple, I am asking you to be precise. Ideas that are vague or wishy-washy can't be debated very well.
