Which to some sounds like you're just throwing up your hands and saying, "It's too complicated for me to understand. It must be magic."

"Magic" is as good a word as any for much of what goes on in the Universe. I've long been aware that there are certain characteristics of our Solar system that makes life possible on Planet earth, and the other day I saw an article where they noted there are approximately 200 of these relatively unique characteristics, the lack of which would have prevented Life from developing on Earth.

At the quantum level, we have numerous weird effects (such as quantum superposition) that might as well be characterized as some sort of "magic."

Both Macroscopically, and Microscopically, we see weird and bizarre events that we simply can't explain. "Magic" is as good a description as any.

Sure, but in an essentially limitless universe, it's almost inevitable that the right conditions will be met somewhere. If I roll snake eyes 200 times in a row among a set of a hundred trillion dice rolls, it might seem amazing, but it's just random.
