Because living organisms are run by molecular chemistry, which is a naturally occurring phenomenon. The message your brain sends to your muscles to

How can matter become self aware though? How can I think about thinking, for example. Why is there an "I" in the first place. For some reason I
couldn't care less about the cells and bacteria in my body, but rather this "I" that I percieve. Somehow their idea of coming together to survive
longer makes no sense.
