It doesn't seem like scientists are exclusively physicalists....I mean nothing I've ever read has convinced me that Physicalism is true.

I am willing to suspend my belief that Physicalism is completely nonsensical - a view shared by Neuroscience PhD & New Atheist Horseman Sam Harris btw - if you can explain how matter that has no mental character ends up producing minds.

If you have already provided it, feel free to paste it here and we'll see if I find it satisfactory.

Wow, that's a long list of luminaries. Now this raises this question: How much weight should I give to a list of people expressing unscientific factless personal beliefs?  Btw, unbeknownst to the owner of that site, Einstein did not believe in God. If you would like to know what he thought read up on Baruch Spinoza.
