Here's one of those who arbitrarily stops using rationality I was talking about. What is consciousness made of?
Nuerons, and the small electrical signals that pass between them. Also religion and there being a god are two different things. The Bible can be easily disproven just like flat earth.
Notice the top comment compared belief in god specifically to flat earth theory, hence the structure of my response.
As to your hypothesis, I didn't ask about brain activity, I asked about consciousness itself, the subjective experience. It's still very much an open question.
Oh yeah I forgot the good old adage that everything that can't be clearly explained must be a God's work.
