DHW: One up for panpsychism, but what is the origin of thought? The fact that we humans start out with perception/thought doesn’t mean that the materials we perceive were not there before thought. So maybe materials gave rise to rudimentary thought, which then evolved to its current complexity (bottom-up panpsychism) as opposed to complex thought giving rise to materials (top down, God-came-first theistic panpsychism). Won’t you join me on the fence?

And God said, "Let us make man in our image." Why should "our image" not refer to our level of consciousness which undoubtedly surpasses all other life forms on Earth? This would actually explain several phenomenon, including ghosts, nde's, magic, Peter walking on water, faith healing, etc.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
