There are few lines of work I find more despicable or cruel than "faith healers". Telling blind children you can make them see again - and then blaming them for "not having enough faith" when you can't do what you damn well know you can't do is pure evil.

I'm a little dumb struck to see that Donald Trump's first cross word against Russia are in support of the JWs.
Is this because Trump genuinely values freedom of Religion? Or is it because his Son in law Jared Kushner has financial dealings with the JWs? Kushner even appeared heavily in a JW video (he probably had the most speaking time for any "wordly person" in all their videos). He's featured quite heavily:

Coincidentally, Trump has also had some overlap with his campaign events being held in the same buildings a JW conventions.

Perhaps an argument could be made that God intervened in the evolutionary process and bestowed consciousness on man?
What methods could we use to verify or falsify this hypothesis?

Are you arguing that we can't judge some thing being greater than other thing?
-John_Mann
I'm not really sure why you're shifting to the term "greater" as the argument in the OP specifically used the term "good" but I'll be happy to address this word as well.
Once again, just like "good" or "perfect" the term "greater" isn't an intrinsic property. Rather, when we address what is "greater" we compare two or more different things in regards to a specific property and then we make a determination as to which one has a greater quantity of that specific thing or is more likely to produce a desired outcome.Allow me to explain by way of an analogy: Which is greater - spinach or chocolate cake?
Well, without defining what I mean by "greater" there's no way to do a value judgment is there? You're very first question is - greater at what?
Greater in flavor?
Greater in calories?
Greater mass?
Greater acoustical properties?
Greater terminal velocity?
Etc.
Until I explain the properties I'm using to compare spinach and chocolate cake there's no way we can evaluate the "greatness" or either.
Are you arguing that we can't judge some thing being greater than other thing?
No. Rather, I'm pointing out that without specifically defining the properties or the desirable outcomes with which we are comparing - then there's no way for us to figure out which one is "greater". -

If there is no higher consciousness in this universe than our own, then how is it that ours so spontaneously came into existence?
It didn't. Consciousness is the product of brains. And brains are the product of billions of years of evolution. There's nothing "spontaneous" about it.

"Good" is not an intrinsic property that things have. Rather, it's a label that we apply to desirable states and outcomes. This is why different people can have different opinions on whether or not something is "good" or "not good".
We can say things are big. But that doesn't mean there's something out there with "ultimate bigness". Likewise, we can say things are good. But that doesn't mean there's something out there with ultimate goodness.
Jehovah witnesses do this all the time with their label of "perfection". God is going to make a perfect world. God is going to make you perfect. Etc. Without ever defining by what is meant by perfect.
