Okey.... first of all, weather is excedingly complicated.
Massive supercomputers with acces to all the data on earth can not accurately predict when a hurricane will form, where it will go, when an earthquake will happen. Next time the weather isn't what the tv says it is, don't blame the weatherman, blame the trillions of complicated calculations with terrabytes of data which lead to a faulty conclusion because of a single wrong temperature of an ocean current, or a tiny random data corruption. Read up on chaos theory, look up weather prediction...

But - that's not important to the discussion. Please don't flame me and then say I derailed it. That goes for everyone, it just needed to be claridied.


Anyways, CONCIOUSNESS!
It doesn't have to be pure chemicals that cause conciousness, or a soul. Why can't it be something else?
