What is material here and how far down do you go? By your admission, do you believe in electric and magnetic fields creating emergent behavior - they do not exhibit the same phenomena as something physically perceivable to humans. On the other hand, computer is made up of atoms and molecules and their emergent behavior could give rise to consciousness.
End of the day, you are arguing that since you could explain away the process, it is not conscious.. but you could explain away anything. How is human brain conscious? It is just activation of neurons across a large network. We can even poke electrodes and simulate various feelings.
It would be helpful if you can explain why you believe this to be true rather than what you believe to be true.
