Unless I've misunderstood you, it sounds like you're advocating the "god of the gaps" argument. Don't understand something? Hide it behind the ol' God Band-Aid and call it a day. But that's just ignoring the problem with extra steps.

As a side-note, there are some radical, fascinating attacks on the hard problem of consciousness, such as dual-aspect monism.[1] I'd love to hear y'alls thoughts.

Not to get all "Matrix" on you but yes to my feeble mind it would seem to require a "god" to create god.

Then all things break down, as they do now at the quantum boundary.
