My father once came out with, "The universe is so vast, there just has to be something MORE to give it a meaning." When finally made to see this was simply a non-sequitur, he resorted to quoting, "There are MORE things in heaven and earth Horatio...etc.", smugly assuming that meant he'd won a debate. But if the religious were open to reason, they wouldn't be religious in the first place. There can be no debate because they're simply too afraid of death to think logically or care about evidence.

@kiasmus That's what he says. Emergence being the result of simpler properties being iterated over and over again. It's then a matter of statistical probability that something would arise out of the operations. Nothing more added apart from a lot of waiting whilst the thing does its stuff.

@kiasmus Among all of the possibilities presently available, emergence seems the most likely. The alternative is to remain silent about the subject of mind as though we know nothing about how the nervous system transduces at least some aspects of conscious experience, which simply is not the case. Were we to do that, the only people who would be speaking on the subject would be those who know the least, like religious demagogues who derive their knowledge from what amounts to a fairy tale.
