Neotos - an argument from consciousness

Why God exists as the author of consciousness

  • Premise 1: Consciousness exists and possesses an immaterial quality that isn't fully explainable by physical processes.

  • Premise 2: The best explanation for this non-physical phenomenon is something immaterial, since immateriality is greater than materiality, and materiality cannot give rise to immateriality.

  • Conclusion: Therefore, the existence and nature of consciousness provide evidence for the existence of an immaterial, conscious creator.
