"Emergence" is gay and fake. That implies that consciousness is a result of physical processes, when in reality it's the other way around.
Emanationism (more closely related to Vedic, Pythagoreanism, Egyptian, or Platonism/Neo-Platonism) on the other hand is FAR more realistic than the common positions of atheist materialism OR religious creationism.

I had never heard of this before but I looked it up. I can disprove it right away because obviously anyone who experienced happiness or anxiety or sadness knows that there is a physical effect as a result of those, not the other way around.
Besides that it basically boils down to the mainstream scientific viewpoint of scientific materialism.... The earliest for of this goes way back to Atomism in the old Greek times with Democritus. It's all the same tho. (Atheism = atomism = epiphenomenalism)
It's the idea that all there is to life is the physical and it can be broken down infinitely and studied. Instead of the more enlightened philosophies which recognize higher levels of existence.

Where do we disagree? Atomism was the original atheistic philosophy (back in Greek days when not believing in the Gods or at least some form of Supernatural was unheard of). Democritus didn't believe in the Gods he thought it could all be explained from physical interaction and material could be broken down to it's ultimate base (an idea we now know to be untrue).
From what I learned about that word you said "epiphenomenalism" I can only conclude that it assumes the mind and conscious experience is a result of physical processes, and eliminates the "God" element the same way Atomism did, but differently. Point is the modern scientific materialism/atheist philosophy is the same as these other ideas I and you mentioned, maybe not in exact detail but in Spirit.
