I think the quote should read "it is widely assumed..." Given the overall success of explaining things scientifically it's not unreasonable to assume a natural solution may come along. But a compelling one has yet to appear. I don't think of this as a 'god in the gaps' kind of problem. The 'hard problem' isn't really a gap ; it's the foundation of everything we know and experience.
