"Our thoughts and memories are emergent properties of a complex network of nerve cells."

All that we are thinking about now are simply electrical impulses between neurons, which make up our brains. Everything we see are interpreted by the brain, and converted into impulses that jump from one nerve cell to another. These are the thoughts and memories that we experience in our heads.

They seem so immaterial when explained like that. But that's not it. We can project our ideas and make a difference in the world. We can affect our environment with our thoughts, indirectly. Something that seems material.

Science does not degrade what we are. Even when we know exactly how we work, the miracles that happen because of our existence are nothing less, because miracles are not defined by the fact that they are impossible, but by the fact that they are finally possible.
