(146,218 posts)he really offers nothing to promote the idea that consciousness is purely and only a part of that biologic entity.
Since no one has ever offered evidence that it is or isn't, it remains one of the great unanswered questions. There may be a time in the future when it can be answered, but then again, it may not be.
And while most agree on how that the biologic entity is conceived and what happens to it after death, there is clearly no agreement on what happens to that other part (assuming it may not be a part of the biologic entity).
I think I follow your reasoning about everything possible happening an infinite number of times in a truly infinite multiverse, but we seem very, very far from understanding that as well.
I'm glad Dr. Dawkins has found the answers that make sense to him, but he is no more correct about this than those who carefully explain what happens to a person's soul after death.
