Is it true that matter is nothing without consciousness?
Topics in quantum mechanics (e.g. Schrodinger's cat and Higgs boson) are sometimes misused by certain people to promote the idea that there is a cosmic consciousness that forms the universe.
Although this is not impossible, there's no scientific evidence to support it. The universe is gorgeous, but also cold and a little scary. Unfortunately, promoters of this idea make huge leaps in logic that don't hold up to scientific scrutiny.
Totally crazy and completely counter-intuitive things happen at the quantum level. However, at this point in time we don't even have a unified theory to explain why really small things work so differently from really big things.
The burden rests on the people stating that cosmic consciousness exists to demonstrate that it is actually so.

Actually, Jesus did not prophesy incorrectly, according to my beliefs. People's interpretation of what the second coming is is incorrect. The second coming is the state of Christ consciousness that Jesus was exampling to them. Some of his disciples were able to become Christ minded to a great...
