Oops, you caught me! (Or maybe you didn't, but I like honesty so I'll tell you anyway) Yeah, that doesn't sound right, how could we just be atoms? Well that's the thing, we're MULTIPLE atoms, to make an analogy: Imagine a grain of sand, is it a beach? Of course it isn't! Now imagine if you took a MASSIVE amount of grains of sand and put them together with a sea: Now is THAT a Beach? Of COURSE it is! Same with a human: A single atom obviously CAN'T think, (or maybe it can, can't really know anything for sure, except for the fact that you Think/Are thinking, therefore you are [Cogito Ergo Sum] we COULD just be brains floating in space or smthg) but when a huge number of atoms come together in very specific structures (like a brain), suddenly they can do so many things, like thinking, feeling etc...
