How did consciousness develop?

I don't really understand in evolution how a creature could go from being unaware, to self-aware. What caused this?

  • Yes. Spiritual dimension in humans is what makes them persons. This is what gives them soul, self-awareness, consciousness, conscience. No animals are going to get that automatically even after trillions of years. Spirit was introduced into man to make him different from animals, someone higher than other creatures, separate from all other creatures.

    This consciousness is the springboard for all developments, progression, advancement in all spheres to an unthinkable degree compared to the most intelligent of beasts. And also, sadly, wickedness, destruction, and perversion to the a degree lower than even the lowest of breasts.

    Thus, we can conclude, something supernatural within the natural realm has been sown. By whom? Who and Why? Who has such an ability other than God? God decided to separate humans from all other beasts for Himself and gave this faculty to man to communicate with Him, to pray from his heart, and to love one another, unlike any other creature.

  • Sorry, false premise.... many creatures other than humans are self-aware.

  • The origin of conscience is the Holy Spirit.

  • Awareness is Love...

    Over time we thought more and more and became more loving and awake.

    To obtain the full details please become immortal and observe mankind from the very beginning.

  • Through Stimuli ( and Noisy Neighbors -who had Their Stereos up too loud ! ). ;)
