"Considering that human consciousness, including reason, conscience, etc, are well explained by evolution and neurology without needing a deity, I see no reason to invoke the deific hypothesis"
you wrote this on another of my questions. please provide me with a link that contains conclusive evidence and not pure speculation. nothing has interested me more in neurophysiology and i did a senior thesis paper on the evolution of intelligence. even if it could be explained by natural selection (which it cannot, at the present), would you be able to explain the driving force behind the mechanism? i can't. evolution is an amazing and elegant process, but once again, i have to point out that science explains the "how" and not the "why" of it. and you could cop out and say that the "why" is to propagate one's species, but you and i both know that isn't what i mean.
