Can consciousness exist without matter?

Yes, but it is a matter of faith. Before the universe was, God is.

I'm going to run something by your head it's very possible to transmit something intelligent through the radio waves or through video. It moves through the air. When it gets to the other side it can be perceived as intelligent or even as an artificial life-form. Does the radio wave have any consciousness? You won't know that until skynet from the Terminator takes over! Friend are we controlling the crystals? Or are the crystals controlling us? Ask yourself this question honestly! And you may arrive and an answer it's far too scary for you to accept. then go ahead and terrify yourself some more and read the old pseudo Apocrypha book of Cain. Where the wife of the devil taught Kane and his descendantshow to change himself into dirt and rocks. And lie upon the battlefield and drink the blood of men. Is that cell phone in your hand a cell phone or are you holding a demon a real life demon that is controlling you.

Can matter exist without consciousness? Genesis 1:1.

It would seem so if one concedes that God is spirit.

Rocks and stones are matter but they don't have a biological brain to house consciousness .

Hardly. Consciousness needs a brain to house it

Yes, I suppose there could be one totally from energy or plasma.

if some say yes and others no, whos right? none, because with the info and science method we cant know for sure, for now

and dont know if ghost phoenomenom counts but it certantly gives us hope, hope is what we need to start searching for answers, compared to out of the pocket god explanations

No evidence supports such a view.

Yes, because there is nothing material about consciousness.

Consciousness is not made of matter.
