Argument or Not an Argument

question 21

Short Answer

Argument or not an argument?
-If our thoughts are nothing but physical events occurring in our brains, then our thoughts are fully caused by our brains. But our brains are purely material (physical) entities whose workings are ultimately determined by preexisting events and the laws of physics. Therefore, our thoughts are determined by preexisting events and the laws of physics, not by the laws of logic and the rational consideration of evidence.
