What's equal about it? Saying "simply no way" rules out a possibility. I'm not ruling out anything.

More generally, I think your obsession with proof is rather biased because you seem to argue that you will assume pure materialism unless others can prove you wrong - which is unreasonable if you cannot prove that materialism can produce consciousness - which, of course, you can't!
I'm not assuming materialism. I'm just assuming that the brain is sufficient to produce consciousness until someone gives me an argument other than "Well, any fool knows that the brain can't produce consciousness." And that's all anyone has managing to say so far.
