Consciousness is the great bug-bear of materialists because consciousness is not material; it is spiritual. Consciousness is a spiritual entity that materialists continue to search for but will never find. But where is consciousness and is it the same as the soul? 

In this podcast, we discuss the big debates regarding consciousness, where it is located, what are the social implications of consciousness being immaterial and how consciousness proves God's existence.
