When there is a theory of consciousness which can explain how a person having only one cenimeter of brain tissue on the end of his spinal cord, the rest of his skull being empty space, can have an above average iq and be graduating with a degree in advanced mathematics, perhaps ill take it more seriouisly:

Also, it would be nice if it could be explained why people are having conscious experiences after brain death..

The void is just a little white speck. There is no such thing as no-thing..God always was and always will be.

I'm in no mood to butt heads against the brick wall you've built up around that pink, fluffy little cloud in your head. I will just make the observation, not original to me but pertinent to the topic in hand, that it's interesting how science gets it absolutely right whenever you (generalising) want new drug treatments, cleaner energy, better consumer electronics, etc; yet is completely, utterly, 180° wrong when it comes to matters such as cosmology, evolutionary biology etc to which the holy books lay claim. A rational person should know why that is. Do you?
I'm not against science, I am against bad science. Like I've said before..when I became a Christian I believed in evolution, and was willing to accomodate it within my faith..until I actually investigated it and found it to be totally lacking the supposed evidence that had always been drilled into my head as being so totally overwhelming. Same thing with the cosmology..I found out the big bang theory has more holes than swiss cheese. I am interested in the truth and there is no truth to be found there.
