and all other mental activities basically
consist of chemical reactions between the

atoms in our brains. Our loving someone
is a chemical reaction in various cells; the
way we feel fear is another such reaction.
The famous materialist philosopher Karl

Nineteenth-century scientists and

things' DNA contains very wide-ranging
information. A literal data bank that de-
