"Reasonable doubt ain't good enough for universal truth."
There's never been a universal truth, Steve. It's been a gradual progression or a "changing of previously accepted ideas" based on new findings, always. Or it may be that we've done it all before and lost it. But I don't believe there will ever be a universal truth as such, not in the physical world anyway.
"The word physical doesn't just mean made of matter."
Could you explain what you mean by that ?

"There are universal truths such as gravity is always pulling you down."
Or is it that the planet is pushing us up or forward through space ? What about on planets where there is hardly any gravity ?

Not necessarily.
Everyone dies.
If you think about it, "everyone dies" is just as tenable as your assertion that mind equals the brain. Everyone's body dies, yes but their mind doesn't and what is a human being ? Mind or body ? Both to be ideal about it but you can't 'live' without a mind, can you.
