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.

To me, this theory is Science of the gaps. "Science can't prove it yet, but it will." :shrug: That's faith, not logic.

One of the stupidest things I’ve read on here. Science has an incredible track record. Faith doesn’t.

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.
