I agree pretty much with the skeptics' posts heretofore. The brain is complex enough to encompass nearly any abstract concept and embrace it, or owe allegiances to it, eg. "society" and "manners" etcetera ad nauseum, all of which adds to what we handily simplify to the word 'consciousness' -- so it doesn't denote that there's a soul or a god. And if there is a god, it's definitely not with a capital-G. The Special Theory of Relativity tells us that nothing can permeate through space at any more than a crawl, so there can be no universal supreme being, as his messages and fiats could not be effectively transmitted from "on high" to Earth. If then you retort with the typical, "God's above all that science; He can do anything", I might point out that despite all that supernatural ability, God can't even show His face.
Ah, but I have a righteous answer indeed: there can be local demigods, haunting entities, quasi-potent spirits living on the cutting edge of darkness, but no "The Almighty". The localization of variability that we know as quantum dynamics might so facilitate such.
