No, it indicates a phenomenally complex brain:

"An implication" is that consciousness, too," (besides the 5 senses) does not just emerge holistically as some sort of ‘field’ from the general workings of the brain, but is a property of the specific anatomy of the brain, albeit a number of regions of the brain collaborating in unison at any one time.” pg.242, of Life Ascending...." by Nick Lane.

Nope not proof of Devine

We won’t know it’s a cold dark silence because we will no longer be cognisant of anything after we die. In the meantime we must make each day we exist as meaningful, enjoyable and as full of love for the beauty and pleasure of our natural surroundings and our human and animal companions as we possibly can....no supernatural entities necessary. As@OldFloyd says...carpe diem !

I believe there are undiscovered things in nature, but that doesn't mean a magical entity.

I'll continue to rage against the dying of the light.
Ultimately my raging will make no difference, yet I rage all the same.

Amen

I feel lucky to be alive, the have eyes that see, a strong body to hike steep trails, and a heart that soars with the beauty of the outdoors.

This is your LIFE, not a rehearsal. Make the most of it.

I've seen no evidence for the supernatural. To the contrary, history is full of mysteries that we later solved — e.g., working out the shape and size of Earth, calculating the motion of the planets, understanding mental illness and seizures aren't manifestations of demonic possession. Appeals to the supernatural are no more explanations than saying, "it's magic." Admitting that we don't have the answer allows us to continue searching for how things work, but claiming the supernatural shuts down further inquiry and investigation. I readily agree that we do not have a satisfying theory, or even a cogent hypothesis, for consciousness — what it is, how it works, whether it can be measured — and that's okay. The discomfort we have with our own ignorance is an opportunity to explore; what a shame it is to ever feel so troubled by not knowing that we insert a supernatural answer that explains nothing. When it comes to what consciousness is and where it comes from, I don't know. Someone like Deepak Chopra, as an easy example, claims knowledge and definitive answers, misunderstanding and misrepresenting the science we do understand while exploiting the current holes in our knowledge and the confusing nature of the science. But I wouldn't oppose his ideas if he were more honest that they're mere ideas he has, possibilities worth exploring, thoughts about how we can live our lives to the fullest. I wouldn't mind the idea that consciousness gives rise to the universe as a thought experiment, or that the universe itself is conscious and that our brains are ideally suited, like radio receivers, for that consciousness. While these sound sort of like the ramblings of college sophomore philosophy student under the influence of weed, I think it's great to think about what might be. For that matter, I think it's fine to think about metaphysics and what it would mean if God existed, what its nature might be, etc., and what that would mean as a source of our consciousness. My problem is when it is taken out of the realm of unsupported hypothesis and presented as fact. God, universal consciousness, souls, reincarnation, and so on are not true explanations for how we're self-aware or even what it means to be self-aware or conscious in any way. Intellectually, I'm not afraid of death; my full reasoning is beyond the scope of this topic, but when my consciousness has no succession, when that flame is extinguished, there is no reason to think any part of me remains to experience it as a harm. When I sleep and my brain is inactive outside dream states, I have no consciousness or memories from that time. As far as I can tell, my consciousness will be equally non-existent when my brain permanently shuts down. I don't fear sleep, and I don't fear death. I do, however, want to be around long enough to see the conclusion of The Umbrella Academy. Okay, I've rambled on long enough. /2¢

Supernatural exists in the movies. Supernatural isn't real.

Nah....just hope to go down screaming, yelling, and cussing, for as long as possible.

IMHO, every one dies alone. But aside from that. I get the dark part, But cold? I honestly don't think you, or any one will feel temperature. More like just drift off into peace, then nothing. Much like falling into sleep without any dreams.

I still like to acknowledge an element of "magic," even if it is just random synchronicities.

Cogito, ergo sum. I think therefore I am. Rene' Descartes.

Hey, bub!
