“Evolution”, for me, has aspects that seem sorta magical. Adaptation such as appearance of bacteria, appearance of cellular based life, what seems to be a mix (mitochondria operating in organ cells) leave me feeling like explanations for origin seem somewhat like magical thinking — yet bacteria, cells and mitochondria functions are here and the more we observe and learn more about them the more astounding it feels to some of us. I don’t know what the biosphere has in store, consciousness itself leaves me tolerant of what more skeptical or cynical folks would dismiss as “magical thinking”.
