The subject of consciousness will be explored by science, the issue is whether science will have blinders on, only looking to material explanations.

A-G, if the cosmologists are telling us that matter accounts for only 4% of the total "content" of the Universe, on what basis do people think they can get 100% of their answers based on matter alone?

Strange, but isn't that the same proportion of "junk" DNA in the human genome according to some?

Indeed. It is rather unsettling to the assurances when one realizes how much is truly unknown.
