No I'm not, any living thing, instantly destroyed and recreated would behave in the same way. All creatures are simply interactions of matter and energy as far as I can see.

You're not even arguing about living things, PS3's and Cavaliers are not relevant to this because they do not have a consciousness which is what this debate is about.

Can you reply to the hypothetical situation of destruction and recreation in one Planck time in exactly the same state? Because I cannot think of any answer to it.

What is consiocusness?

If we follow the "no soul, no god" standard... consiousness is nothing more then an evolutionary devleopment provided by the brain that gives humans an evolutionary advantage via the ability to adapt our enviroment to fit ourselves instead of being forced to adapt to the enviroment.

The consiousness is no more "me" then my heart or my lungs or anything... the telereformater is destroying everything me.  The end, period.

You are romatisizing it... giving consiousness soul like qualties.  Which is ironic.

Besides that consiousness over there is a new one... created from the old.
