You're kidding, right? The "hard problem of consciousness" is a huge area of both scientific study and philosophy. I'm pretty agnostic, and have a dim view of people buying into organized religion, but until we actually know how qualia (subjective experience) is *experienced*, there is a huge gaping hole in our knowledge about life. We may eventually discover what creates the spark of consciousness, and it may be mundane, a property of nature, a property of simulated reality, or a soul. We can keep an open mind about it without buying into religion...
