>Is it possible to artificially create consciousness?
Logically yes, what happened once can happen again, just need to get the conditions exactly in order.
>Is it possible to artificially create consciousness for us right now?
Obviously not.
>Will it ever be possible for us to artificially create consciousness in this universe?
Probably not, it'd take about as much concentrated industrial autism as creating a real black hole.
>could it ever hypothetically be possible for us to create consciousness in this universe?
Can't tell you for sure because we don't even actually know how the specific steps go from the cell, much less before that.

So, no harm believing in God.

I guess I'll ask this here. I don't even know if there is enough info to even answer the question, but here goes.

>a particular enemy has a 5% to drop a certain item
>how many can you kill before you have a 99.999...% chance of receiving the item
>what is the max number required to kill to obtain 6 of these items
>what are the chances that you get 6 in a row

This isn't homework, I was just thinking about this while playing a vidya game last night.
