Biology is not doing atoms arrangements, but is doing creation of conscious systems. Atoms are just ideas in consciousness. Is like looking on a computer screen and concluding: "Aha, so that's how the letters are displayed on the screen: pixels gets lighted!", when in fact the reason for letters appearing on the screen is that a consciousness is typing them from somewhere outside of the screen.

You mean like the consciousness of my cat.

You never think of a counterexample do you.  You just assume you can say "consciousness" as the answer to everything.

    Only if you never did some serious thinking you can consider AI
    can be conscious. Is not at all the same thing like other similar
    statements across history like "objects heavier than air can
    never fly". In that case you were only dealing with arrangements
    of atoms. But in the case of consciousness you are dealing with
    the nature of reality. And the nature of reality just is. You
    don't conjure it up just by arranging atoms,

    But I did.  I conjured up four children by rearranging atoms.  You
    should try some serious thinking before you spout off unsupported
    assertions.
