Consciousness is not an invisible pink unicorn. Consciousness is something every conscious human being has and recognizes. An invisible pink unicorn is something that requires faith to believe in because it can’t be recognized. This is a really strange argument because I already said that there are things that science has no strong explanation for yet. That doesn’t mean we should stop trying to understand those things and give them up as proof of the existence of god or some other supernatural thing. If we did that for every little thing that science had no explanation for, then we’d still be subscribing to the belief that the universe is a set of crystal spheres.
Your posts are frustrating because you keep raising arguments that nobody has made about things already answered. Science doesn’t have a good explanation for consciousness to my knowledge. This proves nothing about science apart from the fact that it doesn’t have the all the answers to everything we could learn about our existence. If that’s supposed to be some sort of victory for your side, then so be it.
I also don’t see what this has to do with atheism being a religion.
