I suppose there is a scientific explanation for it ..

If none, then it is the creator..

Why should I reject the existence of a creator since there is more evidence to accept its existence than not? No scientist has claimed he or she created any natural laws or nature. They can always deceive themselves. Let's hear from atheists about the existence of human consciousness. They may have scientific explanations.

Any evidence of this creator? His or their names? How did it/they pop up? Who was his/their creator? etc

If you want to be saved it's better to forget the atheists and focus more on what FAITHFUL people should be doing now.

In the days of Noah, Lot and Rahab many of their people were destroyed.
Did you know why?
It's not that those people were doing bad things but they were indecisive regarding the life saving informations they received!

During the time of Noah wicked giants were everywhere causing havoc in the community, the people back then knew that something need to be done but nobody knew but when Noah began telling them what God told him most of the people IGNORED him!
During the time of Lot homosexuality, lesbianism and bestiality was leading those two cities to self destruction yet Lot's two daughters were virgins. Were they the only good people in the whole of Sodom and Gomorrah?
NO! But the rest felt God will not destroy them because they're INNOCENT so when Lot and his daughters who were FAITHFUL took action all the INNOCENT were destroyed along with the evildoers (including Lot's wife)
During the time of Rahab in Jericho everyone heard about the Israelites and their mission but did they act with FAITH?
NO!
Only Rahab the prostitute was FAITHFUL so she proved to be LOYAL to God's people by WORKING with them.
That's what saved her and all those with her!


So in this dispensation do not allow the atheists to distract you, atheism is just another excuse for those who are on the path of destruction. Most of them are nursing the feelings that there are many bad people among those claiming believers so they feel it's better to remain idle and innocent regarding FAITH in God but that's not how God thinks {Isaiah 55:8-9} Rahab was a prostitute yet she was the one used to save some people in Jericho. And what's more?
Even if all others are forgotten during the resurrection of the dead do you think Jesus who is the one to raise all the dead can forget his own great grandmother? Matthew 1:5

So forget the atheists and focus on your own salvation.

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

.

In regard to the origin of consciousness, cosmic evolution and so on, the anticlimactic answer is simply that we don't know.. and we don't claim to.

These are questions no one quite knows the answer to yet. While people have tried to plug several things like god/gods into the equation, they've failed to provide any evidence of such.

And although we search for the answers to these questions, we simply haven't found them yet.. so we simply don't know

Consciousness is a state of awareness of one's surroundings and inner thoughts, but goes beyond just be awake.

The evidence of a creator is in the creation, except you would tell me creation can exist without a creator. Nature and its laws are its evidence we cannot just reject. Can you address the subject of discussion?

The creator should be rightly used instead of god or gods. It is highly not logical to just hastily conclude while seeing evidence of creations.

My bad! I used THE creator in a general term
to be any infinite creators or singular creator. Well, I don't have evidence if it's singular creator or infinite. My stand still remain that we have evidence of creations.

Point out any natural thing that’s in the process of being “created”.

LoLz. Nice attempt to shift the burden of proof to me. You are the one making the claim that they are evidence of a creation so it is up to you to supply the proof that they are.

Nature and its laws

The “laws” of nature are descriptive not prescriptive. They are not akin to legal law formulated by humans. The “laws of nature” are descriptions of how the world functions not how it’s designed to function. That’s why the laws of physics “breakdown” at the quantum level.
