Is Thinking a conscious process?
I posted this short time ago but not many replies
This has been puzzling me for a while. When i get a fantastic idea (solving a puzzle for instance) i often feel that i got lucky and the idea has been dropped on to me and i am worried that there is no guarentee i would get a similar idea on an another situation. so is thinking a conscious process? put it other way when you get an idea is it consciousness creating the idea hence you controlling/creating what idea you get or consciousness only perceives the idea after it is being created hence you have control over what idea you get?

14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoA question for atheists?
i posted this just a while ago. Here is my complete question answering the previous question of how free will is supernatural
how many of you atheists believe in soul or free will? If you do then how do you justify your belief since both are supernatural?
Additional Details
@ all who claim free will isn't supernatural. Any thing which doesn't follow the laws of physics IS supernatural. free will relies on choices and ability to take decisions rationally based on that but laws of physics provide no choices.
