You guys keep on saying that the consciousness is a product of the brain but when i ask for solid evidence it is you guys that come up with no evidence.

It's the simplest explanation, since you - or anyone else - can't provide any evidence to the contrary. And there's more than enough evidence that consciousness is closely connected to the biological functions of the brain. Damaging/altering the physical matter of the brain, or altering its chemical balance demonstrably and directly affects consciousness, in ways neurologists and psychiatrists are more and more familiar with.
Scientific progress is slow, but observable. There is no progress in magical thinking.
