Your basic hypothesis is that matter creates mind. An alternative hypothesis is that matter and consciousness or “mind" co-arise together. This view assumes that consciousness or sentience exists at every level of the universe and fits the form and function of that level. For example, the eminent physicist, Freeman Dyson, said that “matter in quantum mechanics is not an inert substance but an active agent, constantly making choices between alternative possibilities. . . It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every electron.” This does not mean that an electron has the same consciousness as a human being; rather, an atom has a reflective capacity appropriate to its form and function. If mind is found at the atomic level, then it must have emerged when the atomic structures of the universe emerged with the big bang. In other words, matter and mind arose in a mutually supportive, co-evolving partnership from the very beginning.
