Zero Point Field (The nature of a \'Creator\')

dhw: Would even this "much more likely" field be a single self-aware being, or an interconnected mass of individual consciousnesses, with different degrees of awareness? The zero point field, like every other theory, seems open to a variety of interpretations, and so I'll happily agree that there's a cosmic field of energies which is the source of All That Is. And I'll happily agree that this field may consist of unselfconscious, physical, fluctuating energies, or of a single self-aware consciousness, or of energies with varying degrees of consciousness. I'll also happily agree that these last two alternatives might explain the strange phenomena arising from human consciousness.-Your first choice of unselfconscious energy makes no sense to me. As the source of ATI it must be self-analytic in making designs to crete the universe and all the rest. Your second choice which seems to help explain consciousness leads away from agnosticism and I understand yhour resistance to pursue that road.-> dhw: So where does that leave us? Simply with the fact that there's a cosmic form of energy that is the source of All That Is, and (like anything else except a complete vacuum) it contains information. No doubt Dawkins and David would agree.-What does Dawkins agree with?
