what does it presuppose?
it's vanity to suppose that humans are the most intelligent "things" in the universe.
if we assume an infinite universe where life has always existed, it's quite rational to expect a super intelligence.
even a finite universe with a transdimensional being could have different physical laws on the "other" side.
both of the above are rationally possible.
i throw these possibilties into the ring because . . .
science has been "close" to solving this riddle for the last 60 or so years, well ever since the miller-urey experiment.
the reality is, science has no clue whatsoever about how life came to be.
the origin of life research is a dismal failure, science is just flat out scratching its head.
i feel somewhat similar about evolution, current research will allow us to conclusively prove this theory, either for or against.
but then again, the complexities of the processes involved will elude any attempt at a coherent cataloging of life.
one of the biggest problems i see in this area is one of standards, for example there is simply no "standard" DNA pattern for humans.
of course none of the above is any "proof".
question for you:
would you say you are more than what physical laws can account for?
i believe the majority of people would say they are.
believe me, i understand your point of view on all of this, science simply cannot submit to the "it's magic" bit.
and maybe it isn't magic at all, but something totally out of our league as far as understanding goes.
