To the rest of us Ockham and Occam are the same guy.
So, if I decide to call you duckie, will everyone else recognize whom I'm talking about, who've only ever known you as pixie?
I am perfectly aware of your opinion. Despite the claims of the OP it is not supported by the evidence.
Well, not your interpretation of the evidence, no.
It's not about the interpretation. It's about the evidence itself.
Consciousness simply is.
As the articles I presented have noted--- this is the most complicated aspect of human existence that is.
So, if highly skilled, and qualified scientists--- within this field of specialty haven't figured it out yet, why on would I think you're the sole expert on the topic, and no other understanding is valid?
For someone who claims to have a PhD, you sure aren't very smart. One of the first things I learned in my academic, indeed, my biblical studies, is that I don't know very much, and the people with the PhD's are so narrowly focused, they only know their fields of study--- and even then, they don't know their complete field, only that which they did their dissertation on.
So, thank you, but I don't find you as reliable a source as you want everyone to believe you are.
As far as I'm concerned, there's only one genuine expert, and he's not living IN our universe.
He Inhabits eternity, and is gracious enough to dwell with the humble and contrite.
And of those that have, they all seem to side with me that consciousness is based in the material world, not the divine. Does that not make you think? I guess not.
Well, if I'm to side with anyone here--- it definitely will NOT be you.
and it's for the reasons I stated above.....
