Am I then a deity, since I have a kind of consciousness and am aware of myself,
and does one in a state of coma become merely a natural phenomena?

I must be : ) as I, a simple human being, fulfill the preceding criteria
however what's not to say that a deity is just awareness and / or just
consciousness?

 How can consciousness be a material thing as it has no physicality in and of
itself.
No physical = no material
Only that which produces a state of conscious is the only material part, i.e.:
the brain , etc.
And when the vessel which produces consciousness expires, does consciousness
expire
with it or does it become some other form or part of some other thing? It is
only a form of energy after all.

There can be a consciousness if there is an evolutionary story, if there is a
biological matter who evolved on Earth.

Why only on Earth?

If I form the idea a liver, heart, brain etc. in my material brain then
they exist within my consciousness and hence exist  immaterially.

Why not.

That only makes us Human.

False.

There can't exist an immaterial CNS or a brain.

False.

No, only in a state of catalepsy

Anything produced by the material brain is immaterial by it's very nature.

There can't exist an IMMATERIAL brain.

I think it therefore it is
