If elementary particles can't think, how can thinking arise when combinations of elementary particles are put together? It's all well and good saying that consciousness is incompatible with evidence, but I for one perceive a great deal of consciousness. How do "scientists" address this conflict with perception? Simple: they don't. (FWIW, I don't think elementary particles can think).
