Consciousness is certainly a unique challenge; what puzzles me is not simply the fact that a mechanism in nature can manufacture a creature with a sense of a distinct, unified Self, a manifest image that is nothing less than an unfathomable multitude of microscopic machines transmitting information at LIGHTNING speeds, but that this is a thinking subject, a quality that sets us apart from the lower forms.
We can not only rationalize, but discover through our intelligence a sort of logic, that appears in all of nature, from DNA down to the periodic table, to the cosmological constants. Our rationality is able to explain a 14 billion year history beginning with the appearance of time, space, energy, and matter. Not only is this remarkable, it's remarkably peculiar.

He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
