Do you have a verdict for whether science can ever explain the origin of the universe? I can only doubt it could answer the actual hard problem of consciousness. I find most people, especially on here, to be blindly "science-optimistic"

Why not. The origin of the universe is the initial state of the universe.

> origin of the universe?

Creatio ex nihilo.

> consciousness?

Ditto. It's actually the same question.
