An attack on modern science (The limitations of science)
> dhw: I am not proposing awareness coming from rocks. I am proposing awareness from those materials that came together to give life to inanimate matter. However, please do not mistake a hypothesis for a belief. Even with this hypothesis, I still cannot imagine chance assembling the ingredients for life, reproduction, consciousness and evolution. That is one reason why I am not an atheist. It is just as difficult for me to imagine as a universal mind from nowhere that knows everything even before it exists. That is one reason why I am not a theist. I would not in fact describe either hypothesis as “preposterous”, but I am merely a gentle, tolerant agnostic.-Yes you are a sweet unbelieving agnostic. How awareness (or information) arises from inanimate matter is the sticking point. You start with rocky material. So have the OOL researchers, and they have found no way so far after 70 years. I think it has to start with an animate mind.
