Consciousness is a theory found in religious or spiritual cosmology.
Physical cosmology has to do with the dynamics of large scale
structures, such as the origin of the universe. Most scientist believe
the universe started according to the big bang theory, which doesn't
take into account human consciousness.

There is no evidence in physical cosmology that would indicate human
consciousness as more than a theory. In South Asian spiritual cosmology,
human consciousness is postulated to be the only reality, the origin of
the universe - the physical universe is just a mental appearance.

Worth a read. Woomeister Chopra challenges science to explain
consciousness with a Randi style prize. The money suggests he feels
confident that there is no scientific solution to the hard problem of
consciousness- in the same way that James Randi feels confident there
is no paranormal.
The trouble for Chopra is that, while no one has managed to
demonstrate even a tiny morsel of magical powers, we know quite a lot
about consciousness already.
Here's hoping for a swift solution to the hard problem as he's one
bullshit artist I'd like to see with some egg on his face. And a
million bucks would be a lot of egg.....
