Consciousness and intelligence are pre-requisites for intelligent planning.
GDR writes:
It is my contention that consciousness, intelligence and morality is suggestive that there is more to our existence than mindless processes responsible for our existence. I’m fine with you saying that isn’t evidence but if we are going to attempt to form our own conclusions about whether or not an intelligent planner exists then that is as good a place to start as any.
This implies that you believe either:
a). The intelligent planner does not have the attributes that suggest intelligent planning to you (consciousness, intelligence and morality) or:
b) The intelligent planner does have those attributes, suggesting to you that the intelligent planner was itself planned.
Which is it?
