The "scientific method" doesn't explain anything. It's a method for evaluating claims people make.

The fact that there is no scientifically verifiable theory of consciousness has no bearing on the science that helped people create, say, my computer monitor.

the semantics aren't very important to my argument, which is basically: our instruments can't perceive all of reality, thus we can't test theories around the unknown phenomena therein.
