One of the major difference between quantum physics and classical physics is the fact that quantum physics is probabilistic. This doesn't mean it isn't physical.

A process does need an input but for a person the input is clearly data from the senses which comes from the physical world. So let's talk about candy. A person sees candy, the…

Chemistry makes me do what I do (and more generally physics). So my consciousness doesn't really exist in the metaphysical sense. I'm not sure what you mean by higher order behavior since I like to think of my behavior as higher order than an ant (I mean that much more goes on into making me do something than in an…

It seems to me that free will is an illusory concept. Unless there is some metaphysical magic going on I can think of no reason why we will not eventually replicate human characteristics in non human things.

I wonder why small changes are possible (micro-evolution), but many small changes leading to larger changes (macro-evolution) is not?

They are the same.
