Philosophy isn't science. But we can ask whether consciousness can someday be explained by science, and what that might look like. David Chalmers proposed a science of consciousness that allows for a non-physical property that comes with rich information processing. A new kind of law that specifies the existence of conscious states any time there is such information in the universe. Panpsychism would be another approach. I'm not claiming either are correct. I'm just pointing out that consciousness is very hard to fit into a scientific framework. If it emerges, what does that entail? Certainly more than merely making that statement.
