What consciousness is for the Darwinist?

Thinking is a hard problem for Darwinists. They seem to believe things that all our moves must to tagged to actions.  

What is consciousness? Is it in the brain?

Some evolutionists believe that a quantum collapse in the brain gives rise to consciousness and that consciousness creates the reality we see from the quantum world.

Is they believe that if physics explains all the phenomena in the universe, and if consciousness is part of the universe, then is seems that physics can explain consciousness,

This assumes that consciousness isn’t separate from the material reality that physics explains – which runs counter to René Descartes’s dualist view of mind and matter

As wild as it sounds, plant thinking isn’t a new idea. "The field of “plant neurobiology” began in 2006, aimed at understanding how plants process information from their environment." 

According to New  Scientist, "it isn’t a new idea.as it sounds, The field of “plant neurobiology” began in 2006, aimed at understanding how plants process information from their environment."

Some plants can count and others use traits that  are intelligently designed,

What do we d with brains? Thoughts deny the Darwinian idea of life from scratch.

Darwinian Psychologists deny consciousness and free will – and have to resort to storytelling.

And, Darwinian theorists have to do with rock personalities.

And, then, our brains will help us to learn things quickly.

Live Science featured an article in which two scientists wondered why we think. They did not reach a conclusion. However, “Most thoughts are actually happening, in the background without us being aware of them, they say and ‘there's not really a way to turn these things off,’ Michael Halassa said.

Yes, it seems that thinking is a difficult problem for Darwinians.
