It seems to me immensely unlikely that mind is a mere by-product of matter. For if my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain I have no reason <b>to suppose that my beliefs are true</b>. They may be sound chemically, but <b>that does not make them sound logically.</b> And hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.
