    "And if physical science, whatever it may have to say about the origin of life, leaves us necessarily in the dark about consciousness, that shows that it cannot provide the basic form of intelligibility for this world."
    - Thomas Nagal. Philosopher, Atheist.

    • I think what the quote was aludingto was that our universe is only experienced through consciousness. And that lens could effect absolutely everything we interact with. If you don't understand the lens how would you understand what your seeing.Morning_star

    • My point may need further clarification but essentially there is growing (published and peer reviewed) evidence to suggest that consciousness is more fundamental to this universe than we have understood. The materialist position isn't as strong an argument as it once was. Scientific discovery and theorising is fundamental yet there seems to be an illogical opposition to a non materialist experimentation merely because of scientists dogmatic approach.Morning_star
