But we are.

Still, with only one example, its hard to draw any conclusions, and we should be very suspicious of any we do draw.

And yet, life is extremely tenacious and has managed to colonize almost every environment on the planet. There are bacteria in the rock miles down in the earth's crust, buried deep in Antarctic ice and living in hot springs and inside tanks of jet fuel.

Matter somehow manages to assemble itself into structures of great complexity that manipulate its environment, extract energy from it, and make copies of itself that do the same thing. Not only that, those "structures" are constantly evolving in order to do what they do even better.

Yeah, there's a whole lot going on we still don't understand. But what we do know is you don't need magic for any of it to happen. The universe is programmed for life, just like its programmed for electricity and gravity.
