By that then, you have significantly attached this consciousness of 'me' to a "bag of mostly water" and by chance this particular one is what you are aware of. Anything but chance, requires choice. This is why I say that 'what' must come before the 'why'.
What is awareness? Why are we aware at all? Is there purpose in awareness? If so, then what initiated the purpose? As I have said before, the theists just cop out with 'goddidit', but as free thinkers, we are looking for something more valid, more logical, more scientific, more concrete.
In the end, though, It will still come down to simply, "You are you, because you are not me (or anyone else anywhere, anytime).". You could have been me and me, you or just not. Random chance.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
