No one knows how our neurobiological processes produce consciousness. It's a complete mystery.

It amazes me that a “scientist” is “allowed” to make statements such as these. But, if a believer would, he often would be considered “silly”.

I do not disagree with you at all in your statement.

I sometimes think this is the 'rational gap' between the religous and the rest.

The religous believe the irreligous think they can understand everything without resort to god. This is not true but it is also not a rational reason to believe in god.
