You're going to make me say it again, aren't you?

Your thoughts, actions, and decisions are all determined by your neural network; the brain. The brain operates on chemo-electrical impulses by connecting with other neurons and sending chemical signals back and forth using ions (charged atoms). What caused those atoms to be there, though? Why did they glomp together with other atoms and form more complex structures? Why did they decide to jump the synapse and continue on the signal? Chain reactions. That's all it is.

An analogy, if you will: you mentioned creativity, right? What is the root of your creative nature and your creative ideas, eh? Information you have assimilated throughout your life, combined and thrown together in new ways. But say you come up with something totally original, something the world has never seen before. Nothing even remotely like it on the face of the planet. Unlikely, but what if you did? Are you unique? Do you control atoms at the subatomic level within your brain? No. Your brain directs other parts of your body to interact with matter and the physical world. As I sit here and write this out, my neurons are firing within my brain. I do not control them; I never have.
