Karma is not a simple mechanism of life, it is magic, and there is no evidence that magic is a mechanism of life at all, simple or otherwise. In fact, magic does not exist.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but in light of all we know from scientific observation, experiment, and evidence,... "Magic" most certainly does exist.
According to science (and our precious logic as well), nothing can appear out of nothingness. Yet we exist. The universe exists. Therefore the very existence of the universe itself is indeed a "magical" event.
Thus we have hard-core scientific observational evidence that "magic" does indeed exist.
Moreover, the very workings of the quantum world appear to be "magical" to us in precisely this same way. No human being yet has been able to comprehend or explain quantum entanglement, etc. For every scientist alive today this scientifically observed phenomena of our universe defies logic and explanation. As far as we can tell it's "magic".
Where does science ever claim that "magic" can't exist or doesn't exist?
Where does science ever claim to even begin to know the deepest mysteries of the universe?
You assertion that "Magic does not exist", is nothing more than a pure faith-based belief on your part. Moreover, as I've already stated, the mere fact that anything exists at all, is clear evidence against your belief that magic does not exist.
The fact that anything exists at all, is already proof of "magic".
So we have tangible proof that magic exists everyday that we exist.
To claim that "magic" does not exist is basically absurd.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
