Was listening today to the following debate. I find both minds interesting, and though Peterson is often reviled, I really enjoy his mind. As Eric Weinstein says, ‘I don’t go into a restaurant and order the entire menu’. Same with JP. I learn all kinds of things from listening to him.

But I often find it perplexing that those who argue for the existence of God seem to miss an argument that seems to me powerful; it goes something like this…

You know nothing of your cells, and little of your organs. Yet there is a supervenient consciousness ‘above’ them, which is your mind/awareness/consciousness. Surely you will admit this much, and, if you will, then you can also see that among the orders of scale in nature, there absolutely exist other supervening aspects of the universe such as the Sun (without which there would be no arguments whatsoever, and no minds, at least around here). So if your own mind ‘hovers above and within your body’, why should it be necessarily true that there is no Origin of similar, but perhaps universal, supervenience?
