I will go directly to the root at the beginning and then address every point mentioned in the article below.
No one can take a path to understanding, a secure knowing surpassing mere head knowledge, the acquisition of truth, not the relativism that now consumes and dominates and is founded on feelings, illusion, self-ascribed truth versus THE truth, without taking their first steps and continuing their journey down the right path.
Otherwise, the trip taken only results in being lost. Forever lost unless coming to the realization the wrong premise, the wrong first steps, the wrong road was taken and it is time to turn around and finally get on the right way to come to real understanding, wisdom, and knowing beyond the books of man and woman, the philosophies of man and woman adopted.
To address the question asked in the heading of the article below:
No, the human consciousness is not a tragic misstep of evolution. The human consciousness exists uniquely in every individual man, woman, and child as a result of being created in such a manner by the Creator. God. An actual Being, not a force, not just energy, not just a name or idea to assign things to — God is a real individual Being consisting of Three distinct parts — God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Consciousness could never have evolved if abiding by the premise of the discredited and fraudulent THEORY of evolution. Have you ever really taken the time to consider the premise of evolution and how absurd it is? While evolutionists, people of the world subscribing to that errant theory dismiss the Creation of all things by God while believing the Big Bang, bacteria in the vacuum of space surviving, of course, while no earthly known living substance, bacteria, or being, no living thing on earth could survive in outer space, but Genesis, the true beginning, it a big fantasy to them. A myth.
The Big Bang, molecular life able to withstand the cold, the radiation, and the vacuum of space survived for however long — although no known tissue, living cell, living thing, living being on earth could survive such an environment, and then that molecular stuff somehow did survive to end up on the perfect spinning sphere, the exact distance from a certain star to sustain life. And that life evolved from bacteria to building the Eiffel Tower, the radio, the double cheeseburger, the cello, the guitar, and symphonies and song? That is believable to them. But God, the Bible, Genesis is not!? Think about that for a while.
In denying God even though the knowledge of Him exists within every person ever born and by our awareness of all of creation reveals an individual that has decided, using their consciousness, to take the wrong road in attempting to discover that which they seek to uncover and come to know.
Within every individual, unique to them, consciousness is also found. The knowledge of good versus evil. The conscious voice of righteousness and the conscious voice of sin. The spirit always warring with the flesh.
The tragedy is the overwhelming majority give into every fleshly desire, pleasure, and worldly thought and impulse and they ignore their spirit, their soul, or if discerning they have one they choose to feed it toxic and deadly instruction rather than turning to the Word of God to be fed and receive discernment, understanding, and knowledge that surpasses anything this fading away always changing the theories, the textbooks, the discoveries to fit their misguided pursuits.
Okay. Let’s go over every single argument raised in the article below, but before proceeding — the only tragedy taking place here on earth are all those so readily adopting, accommodating, and approving of the lies, the illusions, the delusions, the errant theories of the world while adamantly opposed to and refusing to believe God, trust in Jesus, allow the Holy Spirit to enter and do a good work in them, refusing to believe the Word of God. THAT is the great tragedy here.
Okay, let’s move on…
To do this I will add content to the article below that will appear in Italics, following the text of the original article.

Is the Human Consciousness a Tragic Misstep to Evolution?
July 3, 2023
By Martha A. Lavallie
Reprinted from Viral Chatter
Have you ever wondered about the nature of human consciousness? Human consciousness is indeed a paradoxical phenomenon. It grants us incredible powers of perception and understanding while burdening us with existential questions and struggles. Our self-awareness might challenge the laws of nature, but it also allows us to shape our destiny, explore the unknown, and find meaning in our existence. A video with 1.1 M views sparks an online interest in the human mind. It’s a fascinating subject that often leads us to ponder our existence and purpose in the grand tapestry of life.
The Paradox
“I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware.”
According to the video, human consciousness is seen as a tragic misstep in the evolutionary process.
The notion is that we have become too self-aware, creating a particular aspect of nature that goes against the very laws of nature itself. It’s an idea that challenges our understanding of the world and our place in it.
It doesn’t matter what an individual thinks or feels that contravenes the inerrant infallible eternal living and active Word of God. Oh, I understand. Men, women, and children are automatically repulsed, at odds with, rebel against, and are not naturally drawn to the Holy Bible. That is because of the innate human consciousness that has been evident from the beginning in the Garden with mankind revealing our rebellion against our Creator as we imagine we are on par with God. Just as the one we listened to, listen to, and believe over God, the Evil One, Satan thought himself in heaven and brought about rebellion and a great fall there, then brought his lies and hatred of God to earth.
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Romans 1:19-23
The paradox is not a misstep of evolution wherein individuals became too self-aware, it is the result of every individual’s selfish desire to place themselves and their desires above believing and obeying God. If evolution were true and not just another foolish theory of man it would then stand that only some individuals that evolved into human form would have developed such a heightened consciousness and there would be a certain percentage that did not possess such consciousness. That is the basis of evolution. Survival of the fittest, is it not the crux, the cornerstone of that theory? So, then, why do the very weakest among us possess this same consciousness that the strongest do? Where is the founding premise of evolution then?
Every person ever born has the same basic conscious heart and mind given to them, unique to them, individual, yet possessing the most important universally known things on earth By Whom? Certainly not by the explosion in space of rocks and minerals thus somehow coming together in perfect and exacting unison having all the particulate matter to form muck and bacteria that somehow evolved into a conscious human being. Think about that.
Every person can deny God as much as they want. That does not mean they are a knowing and understanding human being. Wise or educated. What the world teaches is foolishness to God. That’s in the Bible. Go look it up if unfamiliar.
No paradox to someone coming out from all the noise, the fog, the darkness to come to see and understand there is no gray area. And no philosophy of any man or woman through time has ever stood up to the Word of God.
Though the consciousness of every man, woman, and child rejects that until and unless the Spirit of God touches them and they recognize and respond to the Spirit’s touch.
The Origins of Consciousness
“Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself.”
To grasp the paradox, let’s explore the origins of consciousness.
According to evolutionary biologists, consciousness likely emerged as a byproduct of our complex brains. As our brains evolved, they allowed us to reflect upon ourselves and our environment, leading to self-awareness.
However, this newfound awareness also brought forth a host of existential dilemmas and an ongoing search for meaning, which continue to shape our journey as a species.
No human being would have survived long enough in what is stated as the condition of this earth by the evolutionists, those in the world denying Genesis, denying God, and taking the path of Darwin and his errant theory had they not possessed consciousness from their very beginning. A human baby has it. Contrary to the worldly wisdom stating otherwise. Consciousness was ingrained in Adam and Eve as they knew immediately when they disobeyed. Like conscious children blatantly disobeying a parent and knowing they have done so.
Embracing the Paradox
“We are creatures that should not exist by natural law.”
Although the notion of human consciousness being a tragic misstep may appear disheartening, it is crucial to approach this paradox with an open mind.
Instead of regarding our self-awareness as an error, we can embrace the beauty and intricacy it brings to our lives.
Our capacity to contemplate, empathize, and create has enabled us to form profound connections with one another and the world around us.
Human consciousness is undeniably a perplexing phenomenon. It bestows us remarkable powers of perception and comprehension while burdening us with existential questions and challenges.
While our self-awareness may defy the laws of nature, it also empowers us to shape our destiny, delve into the realms of the unknown, and discover significance in our existence.
Really? Yeah, a supposed alien life in only molecular size that spent an unknown period of time in the massive radiation, cold and vacuum of space could not survive and then evolve into a living bacteria, to an oozing goo, to water-based animals to eventually be able to build Boeing jets, atomic bombs, Big Macs, television, travel to the moon and back, and invent the x-ray machine and root beer floats. Think about it folks.
Yes, it is correct — if following the path of evolution, what passes for fact in our world, by our world, life itself let alone a life with such consciousness as we possess ought not to exist by natural laws.
The doubters prove the existence of God by witnessing creation! By putting their premises and theories up against all of creation. And their theories and premises don’t hold life on earth as it is known.
Enter God. Enter the Book of Genesis.
Still refuse to believe?
The Illusion of Self
“We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody.”
Human consciousness involves a significant concept called the illusion of self.
As individuals, we strongly believe in our existence. However, this belief in our individuality can sometimes hinder our recognition of the interconnectedness between all living beings.
While acknowledging that perceiving ourselves as separate entities have contributed to remarkable advancements and development, it also sparks philosophical inquiries into our fundamental essence.
So, this is why of the tens upon tens of human beings who have been born and lived since Adam and Eve each is totally individual? Down to their fingerprints? Every aspect about every person unique.
The world likes to mention this when it suits them and then deny this when it doesn’t and it reveals the truth of creation, God, and the Bible. There is NO ILLUSION of self. We are not programmed by the matrix, or some cockamamie theory or fiction that we each are someone. Each of us is someone. Knitted in the womb by God. Unique. Individual. With a purpose in the life given. We’re not robots although the transhumanistic movement growing by the day believes along the line that self does not really exist yet every person is their own god. Wonder why there is so much conflict in the world? Massive hysterical without reason, sense, objectivity, rational thought or critical thinking conflict is present in the overwhelming majority of individuals, yes, their individual selves. Imagine that.
Do the people proposing such nonsense as above think we break off of each other like amebas from a single cell, a collective lump with no variation, no individual markings or attributes? Really? Because that is what their theory and proposition above really state.
The Pros and Cons
Self-awareness has brought significant benefits to humanity. It enabled the development of language, art, science, and civilization as we know it.
Our ability to reflect on ourselves has driven us to explore the vastness of the universe, uncover the mysteries of our existence, and shape our world.
However, this self-awareness also exposes us to the burden of existential anxiety, the fear of death, and the inherent challenges of being alive.
All the so-called cons exist from our inherent evil spirits and souls at enmity with God, in rebellion to the truth, our being opposed to submitting and turning to God. The fear of death only entered in due to our conscious rebellion, our conscious disobedience to God.
We all are sinners. We all have base desires within us. And our consciousness wars with what it knows is right with our continually doing that which is wrong — in the sight of God. Even among those who refuse to believe. They still know the difference. How? Why? Certainly not due to anything present in the theory of evolution. It’s why Martha A. Lavallie, and everyone such as her, adopting what she proposes here, end up writing and believing the paradox presented by Martha, my dear.
The Quest for Transcendence
Although risks are involved, our inherent longing to surpass our limitations has always driven human consciousness.
Throughout history, people have explored diverse paths to transcendence, such as religious or spiritual practices, artistic endeavors, and scientific quests.
This fundamental desire to overcome our self-imposed restrictions has led to extraordinary accomplishments and progress.
Looking in all the wrong places. Unless looking to the One True God. Of the Christian and Jewish Bible. To the Lord Jesus Christ. The only way to God the Father and eternal life in heaven.
Period.
