Oh, I re-read your original comment and you're right. You said the origin of life is mysterious/special, and that we can't find how consciousness starts, but never attributed that mystery/specialness/lack of evidence to magic.

Ah yes, you’re reading me correctly now! Apologies for the lack of clarity.
