Does ANYthing matter if all the movements of our molecules are predetermined?
Why shouldn't they bounce in such a way as to make brains?  Maybe
that is one particular favoured way for swirls of molecules to group.
Maybe all this behaviour science, evolution, biology, etc. is just
the study of the motions of molecules. 
(Throw a jillion perfectly elastic balls into a perfectly elastic
room, no other forces, and do you get self awareness?)
