Scientists refuse to even acknowledge that consciousness is important because they know they have no answers and they know their lack of answers leaves the door wide open, and they don’t like that.
Exactly. It’s the one irrefutable proof of the existence of the supernatural — i.e. that which can’t be explained by science and never can be. It cracks open the door to the existence of God and then it’s just a matter of figuring out what God is like. That’s when things get a little dicey in my opinion. But even there we’ve been given quite a few clues to work with.
