Really? And why not? Is there some physical principal you'd like to site, here, or are you arguing that human thought is magical?
If human consciousness arises from understandable physical processes, then, at least in theory, those processes can be replicated (either physically or virtually). If it does not, then it is, pretty much by definition, supernatural. And I'm not comfortable referencing a belief in the supernatural to avoid having to confront a difficult philosophical problem.
