How did matter become sentient?
>>17962864it didn't"sentience" only came after the "angels" bred a specific kind of people into existence, a kind with "spirit".
>>17962864This is a better question for a microbiologistic paleontologist. Basic cellular microbes started exchanging or consuming energy from a nearby energy source like the sun. Then thier DNA started changing. Over time they became a bit more complex in some ways advantageous to thier consumption. Somehow this eventually became more and more intertwined and complex. With DNA diverting and creating longer sets of information. Meaning larger different and more complex organisms. Until we get to where we are now.

>>17962864>/sci/
>>17963034Thinly veiled /rel/ thread because you just know that OP's answer is "god did it".
>>17962864Um... it just did, okay!?
>>17963025This + Daniel Dennett. Daniel Dennett decided to and it was so.
>>17963029If you have and extremely basic organism taking in two or three simple elements with a cyclical radiation source and a hot planet full of energy the the organisms or sub organism get moved around from the volatility of the earth. They experience different environments and begin to change based on the different composition of thier consumption and environment. Eventually you get organisms that take advantage of existing organisms, this would be the first or second leap in advanced complexity. Sensors that detect sunlight develop to aid consumption and eventually become eyes. Etc.I could carry on from thier but I'm tired of typing.
Somehow matter became able to replicate itself in the primordial goo
>>17963147The old ones impregnated Gaia.
>>17963149We are the old ones
>>17962864consciousness precedes "matter"
>>17962864what is semiotics?
>>17962864Through trial and error
Scientifically speaking this question can be answered as "Consciousness is just the sum of all of our sensory input and responses to it" Which is fine but that just describes how consciousness works, not why this is expressed as consciousness in the first place. What I find curios though is religion doesn't even attempt to answer this. God just made us out of clay.
>>17962864Natural selection. How did a jew in the sky become sentiment?
>>17962864What is sentience?
>>17963788No not clay. It was Cosmic god sperm lusting for Gaias hot (literally) ass.
>>17963859Bundled up senses.
Senses = Input dataBrain = CPU, GPU, etcIt's that simple
Matter was always sentient.
>>17962864>>17963475Yes, and matter is "sentient" because its part of and not separate from consciousness (God)>it's all god contemplating itself?>always has been
>>17964823TRUKETruth nuke. The matter-consciousness division is just a fallacy. From the simplest matter, it's always being impressed by the outside world. Consciousness is nothing but the reaction of the inner against the outer. If you're thinking only you have consciousness, then you're just stupid and can't decode the information from the "noise". Honestly, what we call "noise" is just undecided information, just as "empty" is just another kind of matter.
>>17963788>God just made us out of clay+ breathed 'the spirit of life' into the clay (which is what consciousness is)the Bible still has all the answers, atheists in shambles
