Isn't that a paradox and a conundrum that some atoms combined in such a way that different substances could be created that would be the building stones of living organisms and those atoms would be self-aware that they exist and that they are just atoms?
It's a huge conundrum. This "hard problem" of consciousness is so problematic that scientists don't know where to begin answering it. Some say consciousness merely emerges from complex interactions of neurons. Others speculate that a supernatural force is involved. Consciousness could even be the result of a phenomenon that isn't explainable by current science. We just don't know right now. I wouldn't assume anything paradoxical is going on, however.
