The awareness cannot exist in the beginning, since solid matter was not created

(Due to absence of solid state earth in the beginning of creation, the solid nervous system could not have existed which generated awareness).

The awareness cannot exist in the beginning, since solid matter was not created. For the awareness to be generated, a designed material called as nervous system is needed. Since, solid state of matter is generated from earth only, the existence of nervous system in the beginning of creation is impossible. Without nervous system, awareness cannot be generated. Therefore, you cannot justify the planning of creation in the beginning of creation itself. If there was no plan, such regular systematic creation could not have existed.

[Guest Thomas]

Why would you think God would have a nervous system? The idea of spirit coming before flesh is not analogous to the chicken and the egg.
