Usenet - the endless clash of personalities.

Either you believe that man is driven by a soul (mind) with causal
powers, or you don't.

If the first, the Religionist position, you can argue that
consciousness is subject to evolution.

If the second, the Scientific position, you can argue that
conciousness is not part of the physical world, and thus not subject
to evolution.

Don't pick at words. You pays your money, and you takes your choice.
