You sound arrogant, sheila. There's one kind of "people" that I despise, and that's arrogant "people" like yourself. Arrogance diminishes wisdom. Try to impress someone else, you failed. 
funny you sound arrogant to me with your initial response, assuming so much and acting as if you are correct when your proposition is ridiculous.
first you should define what you mean by consciousness if you were to debate its existence etc....
are you defining it as conscious vs unconscious, or as goal directed behaviour, emotions etc.. define what you are talking about, based on some obvious axioms without wild presumptions.
