We're back to bare assertions. This is an argument from ignorance. You don't know what science is ultimately capable of explaining.
Besides, science is proficient enough to give an adequate explanation of consciousness. Scientists wouldn't be researching it and trying to recreate it otherwise.
Personally I don't see any great mystery regarding consciousness. The main difficulty seems to be self organised temporal sequence learning.
I like the idea of someone's consciousness being phenomenal rather than mediocre. I wonder what that would be like.
