Paul Davies - Does Consciousness Lead to God?

Why does the mystery of consciousness lead some to the existence of God and a spirit world, and others to only the physical world and the physical brain? What is it about consciousness that enables such divergent inferences (from smart folks on both sides)? For those who would like to believe in God, can the mere existence of consciousness help their belief?

    I’m glad people are catching up to this idea. I actually wrote about the exact feature of human knowledge in this universe that he is talking about. It goes so much farther than that no one would believe me 20 years ago. I wrote a 350 page book and a bunch of papers about this and all human history. I am glad the information explosion has allowed people to see. Because it is very important. And that is exactly right. In order to keep existing, if you like that sort of thing 😂, we have to keep going. Because I figured out we are going SOMEWHERE. Thus the title of my first book “The Textbook of the Universe: the genetic ascent to God” back in 2001. I totally love both these guys. If people said “well, why don’t you marry them, then?” And I would be like “OK”. 🥰🤷‍♀️😂

    Great talk! I believe that the bizarre results of quantum mechanics experiments - as well as the fact that a century after the first ones, we still don't have any good explanation for them - suggest that future explanations would shatter our perceptions of time, causality and other fundamental concepts. Like Davies I think (or believe) it is very likely that consciousness will play a role in the new explanations too. In summary, how I see it is that about a century ago, early QM experiments yielded some very strange results. From then until today science failed to produce a theory to explain these results. So we can look at them as being some kind of a locked door - which we know beyond which there is a very different and bizarre world - but we are still banging our heads against it and have not yet found the key.

    We can because we are the observer(s). The cosmic dreamers projecting the so called reality of this world. The past is fuzzy because only a small portion of it has been attended to by the observers. We can interpolate the in between bits by our knowledge of what we have actually seen. What is in our field of view, or the combined fields of view of all observers, has already been resolved and is knowable with some degree of certainty.

Regarding your particular definition i don't agree that all of those ARE conciousness. They can alter it, but they aren't it per se. Your can be perfectly concious for example and be free of any imagination interference or memory or tought. I experienced that myself. Its weird but it is possible. Conciousness is impossible to be an illusion in my view. The self or ego and free will are (or can be) illusions but conciousness cannot be an illusion no matter what. Even if we are simulated right now we still have a concious experience. The fact that "something is hapenning" from your perspective is the ultimate proof of conciousness.

    This is actually a very profound idea. Consciousness (which is a part of the universe) determines the universe (including its laws) through observation of the universe in such a way that it is self consistent with the existence of consciousness. It seems like something like this must be right. But it leaves questions unanswered: 1. What is the fundamental stuff from which the possible laws arise. I guess he is thinking of the string theory landscape or something similar. 2. Some kind of observing consciousness seems to need to come first to start resolving the universe. How did that take special status over the other possibilities? 3. Is self-consistency is enough? I would think there are many ways an observer could be consistent with the laws and state of universe. Why we have this one? Are all of them happening somewhere?

    The problem with alternative histories is that you would not get the big bang, as probability would suggest that it would be equally likely that the universe was never created. Thus Initial conditions are an absolute pre-requisite for existence otherwise we would not be here. Thus it is a fundamental inconsistency to suggest that we can have both pre-defined initial conditions alongside infinite histories. Also the two arrows of time are contrary to infinite histories otherwise we cannot have a unique moment of creation.

    I think what we've done in consciousness lead us away from God because of the ego, which is much like the demiurge. As children, pure and just conscious, without contamination to the soul we are more connected to the Divine and thus closer to God. I've seperated myself from the wordly affairs, labels, propaganda, religions, government. I seek Divinity, Intellect of God(Nous or Intuition), greater Spiritual presence in being. Just being more conscious like a child than being in the subconscious and trying to prove to everyone why I'm right. A pure Soul will recieve Nous -- your connect to the Divine. Gnosis is the greatest science, and we are the most sophisticated spiritually integrated in the physical technology there is.

    yet your argument is, on the face of it, insisting on an argument that's right, and while affirming nothing but based in your assessment of something which you argue is 'wrong' (the ego leads away from God). You don't elucidate how that works at all, or define God or any of that. "a pure Soul" strikes me as impossible and a nonsense, and it definitely strikes me as "I know I'm right and you lot are wrong".

It may be apollitical, but you're spinning the concept towards a desirability. Not sure the undefined concept 'Gnosis' is in itself science in literal terms, it's rather more like calling the sport of boxing 'the sweet science', poetic license. So "the greatest science' propagandizes. Selling you dish soap employs propaganda.

    Good question. I believe as humans we are aware or conscious of body, mind and soul, witch are seemingly separated aspects of the physical, the mental and the spiritual. If consciousness is thought of as infinite or whole/complete it overflows like a vat in the spiritual aspect of our awareness. Feeding the circle of life with energy from being conscious. Awareness is creating in consciousness and created in spirit.

    With one second on the game clock, a basketball player stands at the foul line. The player has made a thousand shots from the foul line, but this one toss of a rubber ball through the metal basketball hoop is different. This time a successful shot means that his team wins the game, the trophy , the championship, a place in basketball history, more money, more fame and everyone is watching. Of course not everyone is watching, but people who like basketball are watching, the people on his team are watching, the people who support his team and his family are also watching. For the player at the foul line that is everyone. At this point a robot could shoot the ball through the hoop with no concern as to the outcome, there is no pressure on a robot because there is no conscious thought or perception of championship, money, fame or worse... second place. In fact if the player does not shutdown the images of all of the consequences of a bad shot, the thoughts can become a loss of focus on the task at hand and increase the chances of missing the shot. The best thing the opposing team can say is "Don't embarrass yourself," planting images of losing the game in the shooters mind. This is consciousness, the ability to see what has meaning, to know the cause and effect of ones actions on the future. The great players can shutdown this storm of thought, quiet the conscious mind, focus on a well trained muscle memory, and make the shot.

    The "observer" in the statement "the observer plays a significant role in quantum physics" is a very misleading statement in this context. Paul is million times smarter than I am but I have to call him out on that statement. The "observer" does not necessarily mean "conscious" entity. Any macroscopic system that interacts with a quantum system will do. Of course a macroscopic, conscious entity could be an "observer", but not because it is conscious but because it is macroscopic. Entanglement and decoherence are the key. The original experiments were done by people and the word "observer" was used by them. Unfortunately lay people think "conscious" when they hear "observer". And then new age, quantum healing or create your own reality through quantum consciousness thinking happens. The original use of the word "observer" has led to a lot of pseudoscience mischief. Same is true for the case of "god particle" for Higgs Boson. It is said that "observer" collapses the wave function of a electron passing through two slits. If "observer" were to be Bob and Alice and Bob observed the reading at 12pm and Alice observed the reading next day, does it mean the wave function of that electron collapses twice? That is absurd. The wave function of a quantum object like electron collapses as soon as any macroscopic measuring device interacts with it however feebly. IMO there is confusion in the discussion about quantum experiment between multiple events that happen. The original event of the collapse of the wave function happens as soon as the quantum object like electron interacts with a measuring, detecting device. That event is done at that moment. No conscious entity required. The separate event where by conscious entity such as Bob learns about the recorded reading from the measuring device, potentially after much time later is a separate event from the original event of collapse. And Alice becoming aware of the reading, yet another time is yet another event. BTW the instantaneous collapse of the wave function is just one possible, sloppy interpretation of quantum mechanics. There are newer interpretations of quantum mechanics whereby the so called collapse is not an instantaneous phenomenon but happens over, albeit, short span of time as the interaction with environments spreads out, smears out the decoherence. The isolated quantum systems are very sensitive and fragile. The isolation from other macroscopic environment (not conscious entities) is very hard to sustain. That is why quantum computers are hard to build as of today - not because there are conscious entities - people in the room but just the non-conscious lab equipment.

    MAYBE you’re right (just maybe because epistemologically speaking, we can’t step outside of ourselves and measure things WITHOUT being the observers that we in fact are) that it isn’t our consciousness that interferes with quantum activity, but rather the measurement itself. However, consciousness is still necessary to make discoveries about the universe, and this is his main point. The existence of consciousness means that the universe can be understood by parts of itself! Particle colliders aren’t going to engineer themselves into existence out of nothingness. They need to be built and used by conscious, intelligent agents. Consciousness and intelligence also, happily, go hand in hand as of now.

In other words if person A becomes aware of the value of the measurement does not make the person B aware of it automatically. The point is that we need to make a separation between when the quantum measurement took place (measured value stored in the memory of measuring device) from some conscious entity becoming aware of that value. The first event happens once in a quantum experiment. The second type of event happens when every time a new, distinct conscious entity becomes aware of that value. Basically I am trying to show the non-need of "conscious" entity to cause the objective measurement itself. Hope that clarifies.

I have thought through extensively every one of these types of paradoxes in human epistemological history. And when you consider all the information and misinformation together and where it comes from then you can see the pattern with almost mathematical precision. I even know exactly what people of history like Leonardo DaVinci and Akhenaton etc was thinking when he did things and people don’t know how to interpret it correctly. I am writing another book now which will pull humans back on track so we don’t destroy ourselves or have a huge war or something, or both. Probably both. Doesn’t matter because I can avert that. I also studied why wars and conflicts happen. I can stop all those too. Call me overconfident or insane if you like. I don’t care about that. Once people read what I wrote, then they will see clearly that history and humanity all fit together in a single way. All human thought. And the universe and how it works. That’s what I have been doing for quite a while now. So have a great day and keep wondering and keep being skeptical. I love this ❤️👍🏻

If indeed, human observers can influence/collapse wave functions of the cosmic conditions by seeing what they want to see, then even the wrong cosmological theories would have become a reality corresponding to what human observers have been "seeing" in the skies for millennia. Considering that old cosmological theories get discarded as wrong theories, the topic of human observers defying the past parameters of the Universe is doubtful.

Advances in cosmology showed that the universe is incredibly fine-tuned and advances in biology showed how difficult the abiogenesis problem is. Materialism also utterly fails at explaining consciousness and free will, every approach that tries to explain consciousness materialistically is reductionist in nature.

    Life and/or consciousness is like water. The cosmos is the source of life as the ocean is the source of water. The water is one and at the same time, water can be many. The water in my home is different from the water in the ocean , even though it came from the ocean. And when I make a beverage into a cup, then that water becomes different with its own individuality. It becomes my tea, my coffee, my juice, etc. The spirit is like Life in the cosmos, and/or the water in the ocean. When a spirit becomes alive in some life form, ie. plants or animals, then that life becomes unique with its own personality or individuality.

    The topic is does consciousness lead to God? Yet, they discuss physics. Here is a hint: Consciousness created the universe for the purpose of observing it. Consciousness has always existed and always will exist but the physical universe comes and goes. Only consciousness can know consciousness. But to look for consciousness in the universe is to look in the wrong direction. Look back into your own consciousness and be aware of it. Then you have a possibility of knowing and understanding it.

    Yes, consciousness leads to God. God is everything, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Genesis 2:7 King James Version (KJV) “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” John 1:10 King James Version (KJV) “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

Well, if nothing was here (physical matter) in the beginning, until the Big Bang which may have been a spiritual event or just an idea or illusion springing from an eternal like consciousness then how can it be physical? So, you are an Alzheimer expert too? Does a computer really have consciousness because it's physical and with it's electrical source turned on it should have consciousness according to your own brainwashed thinking. Another question, when the computer is on standby would it lose it's consciousness that you have implied it having because it's physical? I believe that God's spirit is in superposition in everything living and it is He who gives rise to our consciousness, our living soul, which is created and tied to Him through our physical bodies.

If a biblical God created the entire universe and all of it's laws of physics, does God follow Gods own laws, or can God supersede his own laws such as travelling faster than the speed of light and thus being in two different places at the same time, there are new stars and planets all the time, so how does God make new stars and planets billions in light years away at the same time. Even if you could travel at the speed of light 300,000 km/ second, it would still take you 100,000 years just to travel across our own milky way, To prove anything beyond reasonable doubt you must provide mechanism What is Gods mechanism ?????

    @@Unconskep Well, you didn't tell me all your rules about atoms and all the other quantum particles that make up the universe and all physical things like a computer. I'm comparing physical things to other physical things which is correct because I'm not comparing physical things to spiritual things. A computer and a human are both physical things, NOT spiritual things. If God is the Word, as it says in John 1:1, then He can probably do whatever He says. I don't think that God is traveling at all to be in superposition, it's more like entanglement and probably something even more fantastic that we may never understand. I believe that everything is still connected to whatever was the source of the big bang. I think that we and the universe are part of God, so God is in every single particle, He is everywhere and yet He is also outside of space and time. He is a spiritual being NOT a physical being. Yes, God may never be proven to exist through science, THAT'S why they call it FAITH. It's not just my imagination, but my heart, faith and reasoning. It's too bad that you don't have enough imagination to see God or you just don't want to. Ecclesiastes 3:11 King James Version 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Superstition ( definition) A......a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown,trust in magic or chance or a false conception of causation. B.........an irrational abject attitude of mind towards the supernatural ,nature or God resulting from superstition. C.......a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary.
