Do you think nature is conscious?
I don’t
I don’t

Totally. For thousands of years, that was people's view of nature. That began to change in recent history during Europe's "Scientific Revolution", in the 16th century, when atheist thinkers and scientists abandon the traditional Greek model of science that consider nature to be 'alive'. That led to the "materialist fundamental" view of modern mainstream science that dominates today.
Modern science has had some amazing achievements in the last several centuries or so, but I think we'd be far ahead of ourselves had the West not taken out the most basic aspect when observing the world around us. Today's scientists are only recently discovering what ancient peoples already were aware of millennia ago, without advanced theories and modern instruments.
Many ancient texts from various cultures, explaining the cosmological order of the universe, read like a modern day physics textbook. The Shabaka Stone recorded the observations the ancient Africans, who wrote about the "big bang" thousands of years of years ago. The Asians had calculated the moon's distance from the earth, and the circumference of the globe, accurate to today's measurements.
What many people rely on as "science" today, is the cognitive dissonance of materialists maintaining their outdated, linear Newtonian paradigm, which has been debunked by the discovery of the subatomic realm. The idea that "nature is conscious" cannot be more of an absurdity than the materialists refusal to deal with the linear world being completely made of nonlinear properties.
All things in the universe emit a vibrational frequency, individually and collectively, that denotes the level of awareness of the total field. Ancient peoples had some recognition of this, and why they formulated systems based off of forces of nature expressed as "gods" or "spirits". It's not the most popular idea in science, but there are a significant number of scientist who would agree that nature is conscious.

Of course not. ---------------

Not a single consciousness.
But nature has produced countless consciousnesses,
by the process of biological evolution..

Well do you see any evidence of it doing the things conscious beings do? I will grant you introspection since hey we are here, what about the rest? Or really any?
