Evolution shows that there is something to consciousness that is beyond current physics, especially if we accept the world is not massively anthropocentric (biocentric?).
- Houshalter 10y agoEvolution doesn't show that at all. I think it shows that we weren't created by some kind of god, but more of an accident. If that's the case, it makes it much less likely that there are souls or other supernatural-ish explanations for consciousness, and so we are much more likely to be simply physical matter.
- htns 10y agoRocks and unicellular life are simply physical physical matter, and they are not conscious. We would not have evolved to be conscious, in a coherent manner too, if there was no benefit to it.
