"Souls are conscious but the brain is not.
It is no more aware of itself than a clock is aware of the concept of 8:39 a.m.
Q: Does a computer understand the program it is running? 
A: No; electrons are merely flowing through it directed by a mind.

Consciousness was not an “emergent property” of dust.
Nor was the dust already conscious.
What made Adam come to life, able to perceive his surroundings and experience the qualia from his newly-created senses, and respond in semantically-rich words to his Maker, was the breath of God—the life-giving bequest of an intelligent, wise, creative, self-existent, self-aware One who gave His name as “I AM” (Exodus 3:14)."
