Perhaps the greatest challenge to a naturalistic worldview is explaining consciousness. This difficulty has several aspects. How did experiencing and consciousness evolve? For that matter why would it have evolved? But more troublesome than the evolutionary question is the basic biological one. How can the brain cause sensations and subjective experiences as well as - to put it bluntly - create the mind? Many theists consider this last to be an insurmountable problem for advocates of naturalism.
The Theist’s Own Difficulty
The theist, however, faces an equivalent task. The problem of how mind and matter can interact with each other - much less one cause the other - does not disappear by adopting a supernatural worldview. In fact the difficulty the theist faces may be greater than that faced by the atheist for the simple reason that the theist is committed to a class distinction between spirit & body, mind & matter, to which the advocate of naturalism is not.
Yes!
