Page:Non-Mathematism The Origin of the Mind and Concept of God.pdf/5

 At the beginning, the Universe is a simple chemical matter and it behaved in a purely physical-mathematical way. It is a vast but simple calculable system.

Then somehow some organisms appeared. These organisms have memory. However, memory alone does not make it unique because some chemicals have memory too, and the modern computer also has memory. As these organisms can react to various stimuli in a great variety of ways, the exact response is difficult to predict even with the most advanced mathematical methods or computers. Furthermore, organisms, even in simple monocellular form like amoeba, can have purposeful activities with intents of their own. They behave as individuals outside of the control of the physical-mathematical system of the Universe. As these organisms evolved, they became multicellular, formed plants and animals and developed into the human beings we are today. The ability to react to external stimuli, to undertake purposeful activities, and most importantly, to demonstrate creativity, stems from what we are all aware of: Our Mind.

The Mind is most peculiar. We know it is there, as certainly as we know there is water and earth.
