Consciousnees; The coolest evidence of God.

Noaidi;2187567 . "Its a direct footprint of God." - lost me on that one.[/quote said:
Look don't worry about it, understanding me is not important, this is not for everyone. Just like Atheism is not for everyone, or Theism.

I am not trying to be understood.

A footprint is evidence that someone walked this way before. Consciousness is evidence that God walked this way before.

Peace.

Just had a closer look at your OP. "Consciousnees". Are you implying that it's only our knees that have consciousness? I find that highly offensive. My feet and ankles are just as capable of awareness, thank you very much. More so than my knees, in fact. ;)

Its just a misspelling, but I bumped this thread out quick, and couldnot edit it out of the title. Didn't know how.

Peace.

In what way?


Its obvious and academic. Things can only breed after their own kind. Only dogs can have dogs, and only cats can have cats. Consciousness can only be bred by other Consciousness, its academic. We came from another Conscious being, there are no other ways.

Peace.

Now we're into the 'kinds' debate again. This has been thrashed out elsewhere, so there's not much point in going into it again here.

What makes you think that other species cannot be conscious? Are they purely instinctive beings? Again, do you have any evidence that humans are the only conscious species on the planet?

Okay....so Mickiel is easy to pick on......
He knows what he wants to say....

Consciousness? yeah.... you know....you all do.

Is it proof of God?....I think so.

'I think therefore I am.'
Everyone has heard this one liner.

If God is not capable of thinking then communication cannot happen.
God could then be thought of as a force.
Some people do this.

But God has been quoted.....
Tell the people.....'I am'....and they who understand will know whose law this is.

So the story goes....as Moses was handed the law, and wanted to know what to say to the people.

Same with Poop. Poopers can only be bred by other Poopers.

Consciousness didnot emerge in evolution, if so, when? In what species. And what kind of nervous system did that first conscious species have? Humans are the only species that have the nervous system which is capable of speech and Consciousness. Animals do not have religion, culture, history, science, transportation, agriculture, all of which are true signs of Consciousness.

Consciousness is a very Cool thing to have, no other creatures on earth have it. There is no orgin of Consciousness in emergent evolution, I'll argue that fact all day long with anybody. If so, prove it, trace it down for me to the first non human creature to hold it. Its Academic, you can't!

Listen, THIS is Consciousness: What animal has the rainbow subjective experiences of hopes, fears, affections, knowledges, colors, pleasures, distresses and desires that humans have? ABSOLUTELY None! Humans ALONE are the only Conscious beings on earth!

Where and how in evolution could all this wonderful tapestry of inner experience have possibly evolved, how could we derive this inwardness out of mere matter?

Its Academic! From another being who gave it!

And I want to continue on this most Cool evidence of God.

Peace.

This seems like a nice argument from incredulity

Well I personally think its a nice arguement, its reasonable to me. Its really simplistic in that things produce things after its own kind. Consciousness is the true image of God, a reproduction of his kind of reality, and animals are not in Gods image, they just are not. Consciousness in animals is not neccessary. Some of them may " Seem like they are Conscious", but they are not. The RESULT of Consciousness, is civilization, always. Animals are in no manner civilized.

I'm not convinced of whether or not he is a troll or just a total weirdo idiot. Ah Poe's law.

And what is with every post ending with "... and I want to go into that."

IMO trolling doesn't have to be intentional. Brick walls are brick walls.

are you implying those fundamental Christians that go around proclaiming the rapture is coming are trolls. I never thought of it that way... but that's an amusing thought.

Well I want to talk about it, I want to discuss it, I desire to do this, and enjoy doing it. I am counscious of doing it, sharing my consciousness with others interested. And they are most defintely interested.

I say it because I want to continue on it, yet only while there is intrest. I will never continue without intrest. I have in fact closed many threads that intrest was still there, I am not trying to dominate the board, only to give my views, which may not be in unison with the predominate views of the board. But the fact that I am free to do as such, is then Cool.

I consider my Consciousness of God to be cool, I like it,

And I want to go into it daily.

Peace.

IMO, someone that provides more than sufficient evidence that they are incapable of a lucid two-way conversation, making cognizant points, and understanding/responding to counterarguments with at least a little bit of effort... then they are a troll. Or might as well be one.

I guess if Pluto is a "planetoid," maybe I shall call them Trolloids.

Do not feed the trolloid :p
