Hello dear heathens,
My understanding of the Atheist view point - as far as consciousness goes - is that it is strictly generated in the brain; dies with the brain; is not found outside brains; etc.
Regarding perception. When I visualize an object light strikes the surface of that object carrying colour which reaches my eye; enters my brain; and is interpreted by my brain as “such and such object”.
Similarly with sound. A sound is generated; creates sound waves through the air; enters my ears; tickles the hairs in there; and is interpreted and mapped out by my brain.
What, then, is the Atheist view of “out-there-ness”. Is the world a mirage generated by the brain through sense data? Or is the sound or object I hear or see really “out there” as I might naively believe.
I am interested to hear your responses. Thank you. Rat spit.
