This is a normal post Attenborough is a legend
Quoting the article,

In the interview, Sir David said that people asked why his documentaries did not give "credit" to God for the creation of life.

"They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds."

"I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in East Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball."

"The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs."

"I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

This is a normal post Indeed.
However, appeals to the apparent moral failures of a creator strike me as being less powerful than simply pointing out that the existence of a non-material and non-temporal living thing is incomprehensible.

I can tolerate people believing in fairies or unicorns - I can imagine a world in which winged homunculi or horned horses exist. It's not this world, but there's nothing incoherent about it. However, a world in which supernatural beings exist simply doesn't make sense.

This is a normal post Yes, indeed
The most convincing argument, for me, is that to 'create' the staggering amount of complexity in the Universe you must concede that the Creator him/her self must be even more staggeringly complex.

Which is impossible, of course, as complexity doesn't just appear, it's the product of evolution! So who created the Creator? And so on, and so on...

I used to see patients with this when I used to work on an acute stroke ward - granted it's not as common as your regular lost-all-use-of-arm-and-leg stroke.

People can see, just not enough to interpret building models of aircraft.

The brain never fails to amaze me, the only shame is that we seem to do most of our figuring out how it works when it's broken...

This is a normal post Brains are truely weird things.
None so weird as a non-dominant hemisphere stroke; those guys don't often believe they've had a stroke at all, and make an attempt to get out of bed.

Also, if you're interested in such things, look up 'visual neglect'. Often leads to people being quite literally, half-dressed...

This is a normal post As with the other responses...
... it's genuine. It's a nice little demonstration of the difference between awareness and consciousness, or - to steal and misuse a theme from Sartre - the difference between consciousness and "consciousness (of) consciousness. "Seeing" usually implies knowing-that-you're-seeing; in this case it doesn't. But the sight is still there.

This is a normal post That's a pretty subtle difference
isn't it pretty hard to differentiate (even sematically) between conciousness and awareness?

Surely you can't have one without the other, e.g. if unconscious, you're not aware, and vice versa...

This is a normal post Not all that hard
I'd've thought that this story gives a fairly good example of the difference. He's "aware" of the world around him - he just isn't conscious of that awareness.

Consciousness, we might want to say, implies awareness; but the relationship isn't reciprocal.

On the other hand, I may be getting way out of my depth here. "Mind and world" philosophy really isn't my thing: I always drift off during those papers...
