Yes but yoy may lose in that process the continuity of consciousness. Trying to reproduce it may lead to creating a new, independent consciousness that isn't aware of its model.

I find a contradiction between science and religion in the idea of humans being at the center of creation, at a higher importance than other living beings. Our understanding of nature seems to say, on the contrary, that we're nothing but a different branch of evolution.

How do you deal with that idea as a Christian?

Yes I understand. The philosophical questions raised by wondering about the nature of consciousness are fascinating. What are we, really?
