Origin Of Life Vs. Origin Of Consciousness: Which Is Harder To Tackle?

From Forbes-

It seems to be the job of theologians to worry more about the limits of science than scientists do themselves. But that doesn't mean they don't enjoy hashing it out together.

A case in point was the discussion between Michael Ruse, Fraser Watts and Ottoline Leyser at the Ian Ramsey Center's Oxford conference on Religion, Society and the Science of Life which took place last July.

Watts, a retired psychologist and Anglican theologian, has been at the forefront of the debates about religion and science in the UK over the past decade. These tend to be far more interesting than our own U.S. debates--which too often boil down to whether creationism should be taught in the public schools.
