> it reaches the unfun point of people searching for dictionaries so they can have the winning definitions of words, as opposed to discussing the core aspects.
No one wants to play, "X does Y" "Oh but actually X is (a different definition of X)"
Its argument baiting, and its also wrong, Neuroscience doesn't have a stance on the philosophical questions of consciousness, And the philosophical questions of consciousness majorly assume that it exists.

Thats parts of my meatbag of an entity, which is recognized by most governments, and almost every person in the world, to be "me", to be the person that I am, everyone agrees this is a fine definition, but whatever.
This arbitrary meatbag with energy in it makes a noise, the god meatbag does not make a noise.
A brick makes a noise when its dropped, god doesn't
Atoms interact with one another via their forces, god doesn't
Its the exact same statement as before just with some words changed over. There is no value add to this.
By concluding that humans are as real as dirt and bricks brings god no closer to evidence.
