Jack Symes: 意识是宇宙的基石，从宇宙诞生之初就存在，是自然选择得以运作的必要条件。神经科学和生物学无法解释意识的本质，因为意识是一种私人的体验，无法被第三方观察到。许多哲学家认为意识无法与存在分离，整个存在都具有意识的属性。后现代主义对元叙事的怀疑是幼稚的，因为感知和行动都需要一个统一的理想。神是最高可想象的统一性，但同时也是不可理解和不可言说的。基督教是一种存在主义的承诺，而非命题式信仰。基督是旧约中对上帝一系列描述的物理体现，代表着对存在的彻底接纳。 Jordan Peterson: 意识的难题在于区分意识与存在本身，以及意识与智力。意识无法与存在本身区分开来，因为无法想象一个没有意识的现实。感知和行动是基于价值判断的；这些价值存在于一个等级系统中；故事和圣经能够反映神性。神是所有价值的最终基础。邪恶是一种与痛苦类似的基本现实，其存在暗示着存在着与之对立的善。幸福与痛苦并非评价人生的唯一标准。拥有众多相互竞争的价值观会导致焦虑，而统一的价值观体系则能促进积极价值的实现。人生的正确框架是勇敢地面对命运，而非单纯追求快乐或避免痛苦。
