Although I propose that our "Consciousness/Sentience" is the presence of what we call "God“ within us, (a Soul) it is not, in any way, a scientifically established fact! (And I’m not a scientist by any stretch of imagination either!) Actually, the whole concept of a "SOUL" appears to be outside the purview of the scientific method anyway... since any evidence for the existence of a ‘Prime Mover’ is "Ab Extra!" (‘From without!’) But we do present more than enough circumstantial evidence for this hypothesis to make it fall within the realm of possibility!
