Making up nonsense will always be easier than actually understanding reality.
Just because we can’t explain something right now does not mean you can insert whatever you want into that hole and assert it’s just as valid as any other explanation.
It's funny how much I agree with your whole comment ;)
Also, "making up nonsense" is a very disrespectful, and intellectually dishonest, way to approach someone's understanding of life which is hard-earned through experience and thousands of hours of introspection and study. Consider that people who disagree with you on this may still be just as educated and smart as you are.
Not if they think making up supernatural explanations is valid.
It’s the same logic as God of the gaps. Science doesn’t understand something yet so better fill it up with feel-good made up stuff and pretend it’s just as valid as actual science.
Science, in fact, does not have an incredible track record on consciousness. Science does not even claim to be able to answer every question that can be posed. So you are making a leap of faith assuming it will continue to make progress on this question. You are in fact, being very irrational, as well as aggressive and unpleasant. Good day.
