These mysteries and many more illustrate how unlikely it is to see in human consciousness as something that “grew by chance” from matter, as a result of blind evolutionary processes.
In fact, it is easier to treat the material world as a product of consciousness than consciousness as a product of matter: we know that consciousnesses can create images of tangible reality, as in dreams and hallucinations, and yet we have no evidence that matter can create consciousness or explain how it is possible.
It therefore makes more sense to assume that the universe we perceive is a mental product of our consciousness, than that consciousness is a product of a material universe.
