The very structure of matter down to the smallest subatomic particle has the blueprint for life built into it or there would not be life.
So what is consciousness?

No. But God’s Creation is precisely tuned to support life here on earth.
I stopped reading right there. Anyone so out of touch with reality isn't worth further consideration.
His out of the box thinking inspired many. I think his list of doctoral students is without comparison. Please let me know if there is a more accomplished list of students.

I find it easier to believe that consciousness creates things, rather than the other way around.
We know we’re here. There has to be some form of self creation to explain it.
**So what is consciousness?**
That question still has not been answered. Consciousness can be defined using scientific methods, but science has not yet determined from whence it came.
The thing that animates us is Divine, so it is useless to scientifically deconstruct this mystery...
“God”
One can posit “multiverses” or “life is a computer simulation” and they are considered hipsters or deep-thinkers.
But if you mention God - or simply a creator, you’re merely a kook.

Your consciousness created the cars we drive. Is that what you are saying?
Did your consciousness create the universe? Did it create the trees and all the chemical SYSTEMS within that tree.
You might as well take a piece of wood and carve an idol out of half of it and cook you meal with the other half. It is a much better logical explanation.
How incredibly egotistical of humans to believe that the Universe was created just for our benefit.
This is the same species that believed the Earth was flat and that the Sun revolved around the Earth. This is the same species that is constantly unearthing fossils and fragments of past civilizations that change our understanding Earth’s (and our) history.
Quite frankly, we know very little.
The purpose of the universe is to make lead (Pb).
The author has it exactly backwards.
The universe was not designed to allow life. The universe is what it is, and life formed to exist in it.
Or, as the goofy Doctor in “Jurassic Park” said, Life will find a way!”
This, of course, all depends on whether you takes your religion straight, or with soda......
self creation to explain it.
For starters: Rational decision-making based on the Infinite Spreadsheet is also the solution to peace,
The most amazing lack of logic is that everything is random, there is no design.
But based on randomness, we can predict.
YOU CANNOT HAVE SCIENCE IF YOUR PREMISE IS RANDOMNESS.
All you can have is UNENDING COMIC BOOK THEORIES. Todays flavor of the “truth”.

...
I don’t design cars, but somebody does.
..if you believe you can place watch parts in a box, shake it up and open it to find a perfectly assembled watch

Analog or Digital?
It makes a difference.
It’s hard to say until we have more than one example of life. If we find 50 examples in different places and they all require the same parameters to exist, then it would go a long way. But for now all we have is an example of one. Which means any theory is going to have giant assumptions mixed in with the facts, including that life is either singular, rare, or plentiful because of how we perceive ourselves to be situated.
Freegards
NOPE.
Analog & Digital same - both have many parts that make a completed working watch as the “Designer” intended.
