But your perception of reality is encoded with words such as
selection, random, accumulation, distribution for me to decode. IF the
semantics becomes undefined then we can't interact at the application
layer of the OSI model, the highest layer for which defined protocols
Ethernet, ATM are laid down by IEEE. The IEEE don't allow for private
ad-hoc definitions of Ethernet, Evolutionists though who think their
thoughts are conjuring tricks are redefining the meaning of language
itself
Evolutionists don't think their thoughts are conjuring tricks. They
think their thoughts are fairly reasonable interpretations of
empirical reality. They recognize the limitations of consciousness,
the restrictions presented by language, and the constraints of
scientific methodology. Science is designed to account for and address
these problems. Virtually everyone but you understands these issues
instinctively.
You, whether because of inability, or unwillingness, do not appear to
be able to intellectually comprehend that same context and so have
crafted your own little alternate reality. Problem is, like many
individuals who believe self-evidently contradictory nonsense, you
stand as a counterexample to your ideas. You (apparently) function
normally enough within modern society to navigate your world, use a
computer and communicate (if poorly). You encounter plenty of
undefined semantics throughout the course of day to day life but still
manage not to accidently ingest poison or put the car in reverse when
you mean to go forward.
You have turned the many insignificant but inevitable vagaries of
existence into something that seems to approach a psychosis. Have you
considered a little self-examination? (It works wonders, I assure you.
I, for instance gave it a shot and found that I'm right about
virtually everything.)

I believe that human consciousness is a conjuring trick, designed to
fool us into thinking we are in the presence of an inexplicable
mystery. Who is the conjuror and why is s/he doing it? The conjuror is
natural selection, and the purpose has been to bolster human self-
confidence and self-importance - so as to increase the value we each
place on our own and others' lives.
This paragraph was written by his consciousness which he thinks is a
"conjuring trick" - why should we then believe anything he says.
Because not being right about everything is not the same thing as
being wrong about everything. You'd understand that if you could
correctly parse language, or at least were able to step outside of
your little fantasy in which you are the only one who can.
