Was the universe designed? By whom? How
did its designer(s) originate?
Are we unique gene-environment
interactions or reincarnating psyches? How could psyches begin?
(To suggest that they are beginningless is to abandon explanations.)
Self-consciousness is caused and defined
by material conditions, organism-environment interactions, cerebral processes,
subject-object relationships, social contexts and linquistic interactions.
Pre-existent self-consciousness lacking conditions and contents is
self-contradictory like a circle without a circumference.
Circular Flatlanders postulating a
circular but infinitely diametered creator would be opposed by sceptics arguing
that circularity requires a circumference, therefore a finite diameter, and that
an uncreated original circle entails a possibly uncreated Flatland.
Contexts are our circumferences.
