What? You need evidence for what a mind is?
What I need is a creationist who will not provide titles like
Quote:
Creationist evidence #1.
and then not provide the evidence.

Quote:
Not crap, mathimatics.
1+1=2 is mathematics. Giving numbers arbitrary meanings such as consciousness is symbolism , eg existentialist crap.

Quote:
The point is that science cannot detect consciousness any more then a creationist can detect it as the source. You cannot really detect the past or future, it is all a matter of establishing a propersition but yet, ..... we can experience mind and conscousness first hand. .
Typical double speak. How is it science or creationists cannot detect that which apparently every one else can experience?

Quote:
Nor can you prove the mathimatical idea of nothing with evidence, only by the total subtraction of known events or things.
Yes it can. In fact until a mathematical idea can be proven with empirical evidence to its validity it remains only one of many theories, not truths.
Quote:
Can conscousness exsist outside of the mind you asked. Scientific studies have found evidence that would favor such a propersition.
Again the misuse of the word evidence.
Scientist have witnessed a phenomena and given theories to explain it . No evidence has been produced and the 100th monkey is a questionable proposition.

Quote:
That study would suggest the possibility of an Overmind that each member of a species is connected too, beyond group thinking (monkey see monkey do) or individual consciousness
It suggests nothing of the kind.
Fact: the potato and other foods were introduced to the animals as a new food source.
An unusual change in circumstances that resulted in the unusual method of a youngster of a species teaching the elders a new trick.
Since the food was introduced at the same time throughout the islands then the passage of knowledge would be similar. Nothing supernatural about it.

Quote:
And based on that evidence I can claim that behavior designership is involved in controlling speices advancement. Aka - evolution.
But you have presented no evidence. Only a theory that chooses to disregard the facts .
