Consciousness
Everyone spends so much time discussing the "how was it done?" questions that no one seems curious about the fact that we are able to ask such questions at all. Is it just evolutionary inertia that results in our being able to consider such things? Is consciousness an end result of evolution or is it evidence of design? I have no hard answers for this question, just opinions. The fact that I have opinions makes me think that in some sense we are more than the sum of our parts, more than eight dollars worth of chemicals that got lucky at some point in the distant past. Is this a subject worth discussing?
