I'm not invoking Occam. Science simply assumes a naturalistic explanation because no one can even explain what a supernatural explanation would be like, let alone propose one. There is no way for science to work other than by assuming naturalistic explanations.
I agree it's too early for Occam, since no one has a working model of consciousness.
I have no idea.
