Based on what? We evolved from chemicals to single celled organisms, to multi celled, to worms, to fish, to mammals, to apes, etcetera. At which point in this process did we become more than our physical body? I don&#x27;t see any reason why an organism that came to be through evolution is fundamentally different than a machine that we build. In both cases it&#x27;s the laws of nature at work within the universe. I think rather than concluding that we must be more than physical, a more reasonable conclusion is that there&#x27;s something that we don&#x27;t yet understand about the physical world, i.e. how matter in the physical world can give rise to subjective experience.
