Consciousness is not emergent property of Brain

 Is consciousness an emergent thing produced by the brain?

Consciousness maybe called an abstract noun, ok, but you’ll need to explain why and how consciousness is an emergent thing that brains produce.
I understand you are trying to find a place for consciousness into the physical world by calling it an abstract noun like “awareness” or “love” are both abstract nouns…I get it. But you need to prove your premise which is: consciousness is an emergent thing produced by brain activity. Without that, your analogies do us no good, the equivocating love and consciousness comparison. Yes you could be right, but you could be wrong as well, because consciousness maybe immortal and it’s own source. Consciousness being an abstract noun does not conflict with idealism/dualism.
Until you explain how brains produce consciousness, you are just assuming they do and claiming materialism is the default.
Yes, consciousness could be an abstract noun, but that fact in of itself does not prove brains produce consciousness. Consciousness, as an abstract noun, can exist under idealism/dualism as well.
Saying that all abstract nouns are emergent from the physical world gets us nowhere. Consciousness maybe the only abstract noun that is unique by the notion it is its own source.

This universe doesn't exist unless if we are observing it

That solves the fermi paradox and has in its back the general relativity and the double slit providing the influence of observation on our reality Plato is correct about abstract forms beyond our existential experience like infinity Relativity goes deeper than we can imagine it gets into our subjective experience with the universe making it our mere creation theory of "relative observetism" There is the "unknown" realm this thing if it's a thing is no matter it's beyond the observer notation or even comprehension it cannot be observed thus described in detail yet it's possible to comprehend on abstract level as it is in its "normal" state and will change or form based on an observer ! When observed it's subjective form holds an experience for the observer a universe is shaped based on this type of observation in the realm of the unknown there is no such thing as a "verse" or gravity these all results of observational typology real

Can memory be called as fictional ?

-
What kind of evidence exactly do atheists want? What will atheists conclude after getting the evidence? How do atheists define reality relative to imaginary, and reality relative to illusion? They should be able to apply their point of view on reality to all the mental elements and material elements.  If all that exists is real and illusions also exist, then all the illusions become reality, can all the illusions be called reality? If I imagine the Eiffel tower, does imagining make it unreal? If it is real, then imaginations cannot be necessarily called non-existent.  God also exists in the form of memory, and God is not different from memory. So if God is fictional, then can memory be called fictional and imaginary? But, we all have memory, so how can it be called fictional? What is different between existence and non-existence, and reality and illusion from an atheist's point of view?  How do you define Reality as opposed to imaginary, and Reality as opposed to illusion?
