Re: My questions on your opinions
For me, adding a soul to the equation makes consciousness less of a conundrum.
Whereas I don't think it does anything of the kind. Perhaps it gives you an excuse to wear blinders, and stop looking to understand consciousness.

For example, it has been shown that a high concentration of electrical activity in the brain is responsible for consciousness in those areas (correct me if I am wrong.)
I don't think that has been shown. A correlation has been shown, but establishing a correlation falls short of demonstrating "is responsible for".
