- If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.
- Isaac Asimov, I. Asimov: A Memoir (1994)
The only mark of God in us is that we feel that we are not God. ~ Simone Weil

I am not sure what the complete context of this video is

Lecturer believes brain activity does not cause consciousness, but is consciousness
Theory of identity and neural correlates of consciousness
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_correlates_of_consciousness
The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) refer to the relationships between mental states and neural states and constitute the minimal set of neuronal events and mechanisms sufficient for a specific conscious percept.[2] Neuroscientists use empirical approaches to discover neural correlates of subjective phenomena; that is, neural changes which necessarily and regularly correlate with a specific experience.[3][4] The set should be minimal because, under the materialist assumption that the brain is sufficient to give rise to any given conscious experience, the question is which of its components are necessary to produce it.
Equations for explaining consciousness?

Concerning Treasures
¹⁹“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, ²⁰but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

God, I didn't notice that there was a space on new posts, and I am asking why there was a space on some posts, and not on all posts
For example, there was a space on this post, but not this one. Maybe it was removed.
I am going to add it back.
