brain development.
Even as a Christian I agree with most of science. But there are a few things about materialism that don't seem right. One concerns consciousness.We also see greater or lesser degrees of consciousness among animals (including us).
If Neanderthals wore clothes, they ARE human.
Do Caddisfly larvae wear clothes? What about decorator Crabs?
They do not evolved from apes.
It's an answer.... but to a question I didn't ask.
Do Caddisfly larvae wear clothes?
Behold these "humans"!If Neanderthals wore clothes, they ARE human. DNA does not matter.
Too bad for you that a variety of organisms do make and wear clothing. Heck, hermit crabs don't make the shells they use, but they are rather choosy about which ones they wear. Many organisms wear other objects to blend in or protect themselves from the environment, and most of the ones I find are so far removed from human that it is truly mind boggling that you'd think wearing clothes is some sort of grand distinction between humans and everything else.Taxonomy is not good enough. Both can NOT explain the behavior, which is a symptom of a far more important criterion.
I already answered this question, don't pretend I didn't have a huge explanation about it. Even today, there are places where people can be comfortably nude and survive just fine, as well as many creatures aside from ourselves that currently don't have fur but had furry ancestors. Why are you so focused on this?Evolutionists said, human evolved from ape. If so, why do we lose our fur/hair?
Why not? They make a case around themselves of items that do not come from their own bodies, so what makes that "not clothes" and the shirt I am wearing "clothes"?

I am also very tempted to post a picture of a nudist and declare it a chimp, but the rules of this site and my own aversion to nudity will not allow it.

Consciousness is not material in the same way as matter, energy, and the fundamental forces. Calling it an emergent property doesn't help because these are merely categories of the mind, not things in themselves. And calling consciousness merely an illusion doesn't help.
Yes, consciousness correlates with brains structure and function. But consciousness is outside this material universe while at the same time interacting closely with it, perhaps via some sort of quantum mechanical process.
Yes, consciousness is tightly correlated with brain function, perhaps even generated in some way by brain function. But the subjective experience of consciousness is not material. (I think, therefore I am.)You make a very strong claim in the bolded bit. How would you back up that claim?
There is evidence that consciousness has a physical basis. E.g. both physical trauma and psychoactive drugs can affect consciousness. If consciousness is not physical, then why do drugs that affect the transmissions of chemical neurotransmitters between physical cell neurones have such an effect on it.

Similar to life. At conception, a soul from the spiritual realm is created and associates to the single cell which develops to become a person. But the soul is not material.
