      I think that is very true. Nature is geared towards reproduction, and for this area, the brain of men and women is not located in the head. :-O

                Many people believe very strongly in astrology. Nevertheless, it is absolute nonsense. Why should Sun-worship be treated differently?

                  That was rather the point of my comment, which was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

                      Google Gemini had this to say to the same prompt.

                      Gemini:

                      The idea of a conscious sun is a fascinating one, but there isn't scientific consensus to support it. Here are two main viewpoints: Panpsychism: This philosophical theory suggests that all matter, including the sun, possesses some level of consciousness. Proponents like biologist Rupert Sheldrake believe consciousness isn't limited to brains and could be linked to electromagnetic fields, which the sun obviously has [1]. Scientific Skepticism: Most scientists believe consciousness arises from complex nervous systems, which the sun lacks. They point out the sun's behavior is dictated by physical laws, not conscious choices. So, while the idea is thought-provoking, there's no hard evidence for a conscious sun.

                        Evidences are overrated: - People that believe, do not need evidences. - People that don't believe, do not want evidences. :rolleyes: :-D

                          I'm inclined to believe Social Media are the cathedrals of self-worship.
