Does any supernatural god exist?

[Aupmanyav]

You don't know that as you only infer it based on an assumption. I.e. you can't see consciousness in a neuron.

MRI shows that.

I can’t figure out what you are trying to say.

A cultural clash, perhaps?

Can you please explain the meaning in your culture of this tiny, tiny symbol on my I-phone?

Or at least enlarge it so we can actually see it.

Maybe I can figure it out myself, if I knew what it was.

My mistake, I thought we were only talking about the Christian God, in which case couldn't figure out why other cultures' beliefs were relevant, but then noticed that the thread's title is about any supernatural God.

Please post an image of an MRI scan showing consciousness in a neuron.

 

[Aupmanyav]

If it's the "end result," you should be able to demonstrate it. Again, please show me consciousness, and then explain the process in how the chemical and electrical interaction of information in the the neuron produces it. Assuming the "information" you're speaking of is contained within the nucleus of the neuron, please explain how the "information" interacts with the chemicals and electrical signals producing consciousness.

If you cannot demonstrate consciousness and how it's produced, I'll conclude that your statement is merely a claim based on an assumption.

Take a look at this!

Brain images display the beauty and complexity of consciousness

How can one understand the Christian God without understanding other cultures?

You seem to be suggesting that only your own culture matters, and that other cultures are irrelevant.

Please post an image of an MRI scan showing consciousness in a neuron.

Many more images and videos in Google and other search engines.

From your first link...

The set should be minimal because, under the materialist assumption that the brain is sufficient to give rise to any given conscious experience, the question is which of its components are necessary to produce it.​

What I said before you posted the link...

If you cannot demonstrate consciousness and how it's produced, I'll conclude that your statement is merely a claim based on an assumption.

Thank you.

You are conflating 2 different definitions of to show.

Again, not what I asked for, but thanks for the effort.

 

[Aupmanyav]

.. the question is which of its components are necessary to produce it.

The sensory organs and neurons. One gives the input, others analyze and store it. When necessary, motor organs perform the action as demanded by neurons. Some actions are autonomous.

Yeah, your religion is showing.

Again, thank you for the materialist assumption.

It is based on chemicals in the neurons. Perhaps Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-5 - Wikipedia will have some information. I have not read it. There will be many references about how it comes up on the internet.

Yeah, the Internet proves that and God. You just have to find the text than comfirms your belief. Everything can be proven on the Internet.

I don't have any evidence, hence I don't believe in anything supernatural. Whatever other cultures believe about supernatural, serves only as a comparison of human imagination for me.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

That’s fairly common, isn’t it?

We all do that.

I do that. You do that. Is it really a surprise that he does it as well?

Please don't presume to speak for me.

I can entertain viewpoints that I don't personally subscribe to. If you can't, that's a "you" thing (and probably not as universal as you're assuming).

I hold the same view for that the universe is natural/material/physical and not just for supernatural.

This was your statement about worldviews.

How is my agreeing with you somehow speaking for you?

You don’t take agreement very well. I thought you were perceptive. Perhaps you disagree, and perhaps you don’t.


Ah - I get it: you're so deep into your own worldview that you can't relate to others except through your own paradigm, even though it doesn't fit.

Since you seem to have forgotten your own post, here you go as a reminder. The part I've bolded is where you spoke for me:
