But again, the ability of bringing about the right organization of molecules for consciousness to arise must already be a part of the underlying "objective reality."
Accepting the idea that:
1. Our consciousness is a combination of the complex laws of physics, chemistry, and biology (all which are contained within the objective reality),
while maintaining that:
2. The objective reality itself is fundamentally non-conscious,
seems to be in conflict because it's as if you are implying that the objective reality (through the atoms and the laws of nature) started perceiving itself one day (through beings like you and me) and then regarded itself to be something non-conscious.
^ The point is that your consciousness and objective reality are deeply entangled. Your consciousness is a manifestation of objective reality. Therefore when you say that objective reality is not conscious, then you are technically saying that you yourself is not conscious, which you know is not true.
