As far as I understood he doesn't state that life cannot be explained by physics. But that it might be more productive to choose a more high level view.

Makes sense. If a set of physical laws allows life at all, life will maintain its own set of rules (related to reproduction, goal-directed behavior and so on) regardless of low level "implementation details" that are dependent on particulars of the physical laws.
