I believe there is thorough, observable, evidence to suggest that consciousness is manifest exclusively through the brain.

Persons with damaged brains have damaged consciousness. Persons with underdeveloped brains have underdeveloped consciousness. People without functioning brains have no detectable consciousness.

There is a metric ton of observed and collected data on consciousness.

Of course evidence does not equal proof…

I appreciate your point, but be sure to take a look at the current state of the mind-body problem to understand that those evidences you brought up point to the brain as mediator of consciousness, not the cause.

		They absolutely point to the brain as the cause. To suggest otherwise is to introduce unscientific/superstitious concepts like souls or whatnot, which violates Occam’s razor. If that’s the road you want to go down, come back when you have independent evidence for that.
