There is no fear or courage in the inanimate; why through evolution did fear generate in the animals and in a more sophisticated manner it generates in the humans?
Does its generation indicate a higher level of consciousness?
The higher the life; the higher is the fear.
Quite the contrary. At higher levels of consciousness, we are capable of mastering our fear. This is a skill apparently lacking in lower life forms, which seem to respond instinctively to fight-or-flight stimuli.
What in the world do inanimate objects have to do with fear, consciousness, or evolution?
But the fear does generate in the animals and humans. Why? Please
Because they are members of the animal kingdom. I don't disagree that without life there can be no fear. It is your statement that "The higher the life; the higher is the fear" that I reject. If there is a correlation between levels of consciousness and levels of fear, it is an inverse relationship, not a direct one, as you postulate. Case in point: what is more afraid of a small dog - you or a bunny? Unless you say it is you, then you prove my point.
Fear makes animals move away from things that might harm them. It is a core part of evolution.
Rather than keep asking gormless questions here, perhaps you should just Google them.
The more you post, the more you show yourself for what and who you are really. I won't go into it any further, so don't lay down your typical response "please elaborate". I won't waste my time.
"This is a skill apparently lacking in lower life forms, which seem to respond instinctively to fight-or-flight stimuli."
So is a dog a lower life form. They can get over certain fears quite easily.
"GORMLESS"
I looked it up on Google. Never heard of it before. Thank you.
Gormless:
(informal) lacking intelligence and vitality
"They can get over certain fears quite easily." Something new and strange in the yard. Ever see it. They slowly sneak up to it. Maybe jumping back now and then. Until they determine it is nothing but a bunched piece of canvas. No more fear.
In some ways fear is good because it protects an organism from potential harms. So, yes, in some way there is an evolutionary predisposition for self preservation. However, the role in mans current evolution is the discarding of fear. To quote my man Lupe " fear is such a weak emotion, that's why i despite it".
"However, the role in mans current evolution is the discarding of fear."
You are not going to make much of a Hollywood producer.

Fear and love played an important role in the Evolution; abstaining away from things that harm one's life and liking things that benefit one's life.

Why is the existence/non-existence of a higher power dependent on the validity of any particular religion? Are we as humans really so arrogant, that we think if none of our gods are real, that must mean there is no such thing as a higher power at all anywhere in the universe? Isn't it possible that...

How would you want to die? A quick winking out like a candle blown away by a breeze, or would you want to go silently in your sleep never to wake again? Who would you want there at the end of your life? Who do you want to look into your eyes and comfort you in those finale moments and seconds of...
