Restating your claim is not the same as providing evidence for it. I want scientifically-acquired evidence that coherent energy transfer in microtubules has any kind of cause-and-effect relationship with consciousness.

You should read on microtubules dynamics. The role and function of MTs in consciousness has been established by Hameroff et al. (1994)
See: http://hameroff.com/sites/default/files/Quantum%20Coher%20in%20Microtub%20A%20Neural%20Basis%20for%20Emergent%20Consc%20JCS%201994.pdf

Given the length of this document, can you quote the part where the necessary experiment was performed which established that consciousness was generated solely by microtubules (and that it extends to unicellular organisms)? A page number would be helpful as well.

I wouldn't bother trying to reason with tkadm30. He doesn't understand even the basic principles of science, and he thinks that he can reconcile unsubstantiated spiritual beliefs with science simply through wacky philosophising.

You seem basically unreceptive of anyone ideas on this forum. I guess you're an hypocrite when you claim to believe in the media diversity. You should probably go away now.
 
This is a SCIENCE forum. It is not a conspiracy theory forum. And it is not a forum for confirming spiritual beliefs. If you want to discuss conspiracy theories, why not go to a conspiracy theory forum where you can complain all you want about what you perceive to be the mainstream media.

I don't want to waste my time explaining to you over and over again how science works , and how the media works. I noticed that others on this forum are also trying to explain to you how science works.

If you were aware of how expensive legal action can ruin a journalist's career or even destroy a newspaper, you would understand why it is so dangerous for a journalist to publish news that is not evidence-based (i.e. a journalist always has to have a credible source). Nevertheless, each newspaper generally develops a slight political bias in the way it presents the news. Many are left (e.g. the Guardian), and many are right (e.g. Fox News). Still many attempt to maintain neutrality.

I would ask you to please stop filling up these threads with anti-scientific trolling.
