Dennett is widely regarded by [[atheism|atheists]], who dispute the evidence for an [[intelligent design|intelligent designer]], as one of the premier philosophers in the world in the area of consciousness.  Dennet's book ''Consciousness Explained'' is beloved by those who deny God in favor of a naturalist [[philosophy]] of the mind.  However, Christian apologists claim he cannot solve real-world questions concerning consciousness.<ref>http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/old-material-dennett-and-mind</ref><ref>http://creation.com/brain-chemistry-and-the-fate-of-the-personality-after-death</ref>  Dennet proposes his initial multiple drafts model of consciousness, where he proposes that there is no single source of consciousness (no conscious qualia), as proposed by many of his contemporaries.

He has been criticized by some of his peers for denying the existence of qualia and sticking with naturalist models of consciousness (he later expanded the multiple drafts model to the fame in the brain model in his 2005 book ''Sweet Dreams'') as he insists that there is no evidence, and that neurological [[science]] will, in time, progress to make the idea of qualia, or the source of seemingly inexplicable functions in the mind, obsolete.
