What is your explanation of how our brains work, if not software running on a computer? Concerning consciousness - I haven't seen a compelling explan...

The smart answer is nobody really knows, but physical-chemical interactions seem to play a big role.

Science doesn’t even know how a bunch of atoms arranged together to form a living monocelular organism, let alone a complex system such as the human brain.

For all we know it’s all emergent behavior but we don’t know what we don’t know, and we shouldn’t naively ignore this fact when coming up with hypothesis.

I think life simply isn’t a solved problem, quantum entanglement still sounds like black magic to me and I wouldn’t put behind humanity figuring out some sort of “soul sensing machine” (very loose use of the therm soul here as a placeholder for an unknown unknown) in the future just like we can view radio waves in a spectrometer.
