I think I've gotten somewhere...let's see.
Most would hold that in order to be conscious, a thing must first be alive. However, being alive doesn't necessarily mean conscious. Sound right?
There's a flaw here, let's find it...in this construct:
1. There was once a time that life didn't exist.
I find it hard to accept, but still I'll concede that life could arise by "chance".
2. Some, but not all life is conscious. This implies that at some point, humans or the 'lifeforms' we decended from became conscious. NOT POSSIBLE by chance...something, or someone of equal or greater 'consciousness' HAD to cause this. It simply defies all reason that we could evolve, by chance, a consciousness.
