I can’t figure out what you are trying to say.

A cultural clash, perhaps?

Can you please explain the meaning in your culture of this tiny, tiny symbol on my I-phone?

Or at least enlarge it so we can actually see it.

Maybe I can figure it out myself, if I knew what it was.
My mistake, I thought we were only talking about the Christian God, in which case couldn't figure out why other cultures' beliefs were relevant, but then noticed that the thread's title is about any supernatural God.

If it's the "end result," you should be able to demonstrate it. Again, please show me consciousness, and then explain the process in how the chemical and electrical interaction of information in the the neuron produces it. Assuming the "information" you're speaking of is contained within the nucleus of the neuron, please explain how the "information" interacts with the chemicals and electrical signals producing consciousness.

If you cannot demonstrate consciousness and how it's produced, I'll conclude that your statement is merely a claim based on an assumption.

How can one understand the Christian God without understanding other cultures?

You seem to be suggesting that only your own culture matters, and that other cultures are irrelevant.

From your first link...

The set should be minimal because, under the materialist assumption that the brain is sufficient to give rise to any given conscious experience, the question is which of its components are necessary to produce it.​
What I said before you posted the link...

Thank you.

The sensory organs and neurons. One gives the input, others analyze and store it. When necessary, motor organs perform the action as demanded by neurons. Some actions are autonomous.
Again, thank you for the materialist assumption.

I don't have any evidence, hence I don't believe in anything supernatural. Whatever other cultures believe about supernatural, serves only as a comparison of human imagination for me.

I hold the same view for that the universe is natural/material/physical and not just for supernatural.
 
Please don't presume to speak for me.

I can entertain viewpoints that I don't personally subscribe to. If you can't, that's a "you" thing (and probably not as universal as you're assuming).

This was your statement about worldviews.

How is my agreeing with you somehow speaking for you?

You don’t take agreement very well. I thought you were perceptive. Perhaps you disagree, and perhaps you don’t.


Ah - I get it: you're so deep into your own worldview that you can't relate to others except through your own paradigm, even though it doesn't fit.
