AB,
In essence our whole universe is composed of simple components comprising atomic particles.
Sub-atomic particle, of force and matter - yes.
The only thing that can have concept of any properties is something which has conscious awareness.
That's definitionally moot, but ok...
So what makes emergence special outside of conscious awareness?
What are you trying to ask here? If you're asking whether "conscious awareness" as you put it is likely to be an emergent property of the stuff of which we're made, then yes.
There's conceptually no need therefore for special pleading for it to come from somewhere else and, even if there was, you'd then have all your work ahead of you still to model it and to provide a method to verify that model.
Essentially, you're coming at this ass-backwards. You've decided that there's something you call "god", and now you're reverse-engineering from that starting point to populate your ontology with "souls", "devils" and the like. It's a bit like someone claiming that pots of gold at the ends of rainbows exist, therefore leprechauns exist whereas what they're really saying is, "leprechauns exist, therefore pots of gold at the ends of rainbows".
If nothing else, your repeated car crash reasoning of arguing from your personal incredulity should at least nudge you toward realising that.
