Thanks for that link. Hamza is a great thinker, but I feel his debate style just doesn't seem to feel compelling. If you actually just focus on his points and not the way he articulated them, his points are pretty solid!
I brought this whole thing up from the consciousness thing because Allah promised in the Quran that he would show us his signs throughout the universe and WITHIN ourselves!
We have many signs of God from the universe and here we have one that is in ourselves. Consciousness. Consciousness is fundamental.
Quran 41:53 We will show them Our signs in the furthest regions and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?
