Oh, that Atheist stuff is nonsense, but for me I have narrowed it down to a pretty clean little hypothesis:
I don’t believe the Universe would have ever created an epiphenomenon like consciousness. Consciousness/Awareness in a Godless universe is like having a Mona Lisa painting, painted by a blind man, in a room full of blind men. It doesn’t compute in my view.
So, when I’m debating atheists, once we all agree that there is something called Consciousness, then my internal deduction is that there is a Cosmic source for this Consciousness. They say I can’t prove it, and I say they are trying to convince a man who loves Chocolate that he doesn’t really love Chocolate. It can’t be done. I tell them not to even think it can be successfully done more than a few times in a lifetime.
I love my God. I love my Chocolate.
I think my views on God and Consciousness would fit in well with discussions on this thread, when it gets under way!
