I lean towards agreeing with you, but this belief for me is more like believing a slightly better team will win a ball-game.

Besides, there really no reason to pick a side on this matter right now.

It would be a more complex worldview to believe than humans implement uncomputable functions, but for those who believe that there is a God, and that our minds are reflections of God's mind, or something along those lines, it would be quite natural.

There are also many, scientists included, that believe that consciousness occurs at a scale below and speed above what the uncertainty principle allows us to measure.
