We still don't fully understand how photosynthesis works, but to say that it probably has something to do with plants seems to undersell what we do know. I don't fully understand how my car works either, but I'm fairly confident that it's a car despite my specific ignorance. We do have a scientific understanding of how systems and processes can arrive at such conclusions and what those constructs are useful for - btw, in control theory, but we'll probably discover that the process(es) which give rise to our consciousness are different or additional-to such things. Biology isn't an engineer building things before the fact for specific ranges of function and robust error checking, and all that jazz
