Great catch. You're absolutely right, that phrasing was misleading in a way that accidentally privileges consciousness over other physical processes.
Consciousness being a purely physical process comparable to rocks eroding from water or whatever is an unproven and still debated presumption.
Note that taking the opposite point doesn't require arguing from religion, either.
