That probably proves me wrong. Scientists should study these experiences  to directly detect neural structures responcible for creation of qualia and reproduce artificial subjective experience in a computer. If that's possible then mind-body problem is solved. Until then there is good chance that consciousness is external and therefore supernatural.

Bolded mine.  How the flying hell do you come to the conclusion that just because scientists haven't figured something out completely, that the cause is probably supernatural?

You're just pulling that out of your ass.  In order to appeal to something as an explanation, you need to demonstrate that thing exists.  I can't appeal to leprechauns as an explanation for my wealth because leprechauns haven't been demonstrated to exist.  I can't appeal to santa as the explanation for gifts I receive at Christmas because santa hasn't been demonstrated to exist.  And you don't get to appeal to the supernatural as the explanation for consciousness because the supernatural hasn't been demonstrated to exist.

This is the pure, crystallized, black-tar form of the argument of ignorance. Why can't you simply say "I don't know what the explanation is yet?" Why must you imbue the supernatural onto the explanation?
