A DEFINITIVE REPLY
TO EVOLUTIONIST
PROPAGANDA
According to materialists, consciousness is the result of electro-
chemical reactions in the brain. In other words, consciousness comes
about with the chemical and electrical exchanges between the cells
that make up the tissue of the brain. The fact is, however, that there is
no scientific foundation for this claim. Not even the most highly ad-
vanced MR brain scans have been able to establish where conscious-
ness is located in the brain, nor which chain of brain functions com-
prise it. All the scientific research carried out throughout the twenti-
eth century in order to explain the phenomenon of consciousness
shows that consciousness has no material base.
Such a conclusion is inevitable. Matter has no ability or
essence within itself that could give rise to consciousness. All
things considered, the brain cells that are believed to be
the source of consciousness consist of nothing but
unconscious atoms. How is it that a grey,
damp piece of flesh made up of
such atoms is able to create the
very different characters of
billions of different peo-
ple? How do carbon,
oxygen, and hy-
drogen atoms
