I'm going to be doing a lot of reading into this subject as well as discussions with scientists hopefully via email. (blog sites for example). I will get back to you after I have more explanation.
As I said, it's a semi argument from ignorance. The truth is I don't know what even makes consciousness, or even if material atoms working together can give rise to consciousness. But it seems to be the case of assumption from naturalism, that there a significant gap between concsiousness and non-concsiousness in complexity/design, to the extent mutations of one generation of a entity to another cannot account for it.
This seems to be the case to me. It may not be true. But I don't think it's a weak argument or weak reasoning.
In this case, try as I might, I cannot convince myself this reasoning is wrong, and it seems true.
