Non –Locality, Consciousness and the existence of God

Post by haribol acharya »

All who study philosophy or take an interest in philosophy cannot remain aloof from the idea of consciousness. Panels of neuro-scientists, physicists, biologists discuss this every time they have the opportunity to do so for it is such a subject few can afford to isolate himself or herself from asking some of the questions that relate to our origin. But nobody has reached the zenith to claim he has understood this mystery, the mystery of life, of the universe or of the origin of all else. We are not satisfied to confine ourselves or be contained within a few scientific explanations. We have a have an innate liking for asking the basic questions built around life, God and the universe. But we have never been satisfactorily answered but we never stop asking

I want to bring forth this for discussion

Consciousness is not fully understood but it can be accurately described as a behaviour as this is what it is
The first life form was single cell non self replicating bacteria from which all subsequent life is descended
Physics currently can only go as far back as the Big Bang and so what happened before is entirely unknown
There is no evidence for God and there is also no objective meaning to either our existence or the universe

True. The thing I want to put forward for discussion is some of us, who are updated with the latest findings of science, resort to science and others may not satisfy themselves with this and want to delve deeper into the topic of existence. It is such a grave issue it does not tire us of discussion even if we discuss for decades. Anyway it is worth discussing.

It seems to me like somewhat of a cop-out to blindly trust "science" to take care of this issue. How is it that you can base all of your belief around the findings of another, without doing some exploration for yourself? What one needs to do is openly consider all point of view of these issues and then once an understanding is gained of each, decided for oneself which they believe to be most satisfying, at least to start formulating their own theories from. You cannot say that your view is most reason-based or "believable" if you have not viewed it through all possible lenses.

Fear not, the chap with the senseless answers to all the meaningless questions you care to pose will no doubt be along presently.

What modern science refers to as "reality" is actually the product of consciousness, not the other way around. Modern science is too much engulfed into materialistic views (dogmas) that is unable to answer questions related to consciousness without being dogmatic.

Science only investigates observable phenomena so has nothing to say with regard to
materialism since that is an ontological position pertaining to the nature of existence
