The challenge with the world being a purely physical thing is that it eliminates cool things like freewill, creativity, or any continuation of life after the death of the body. In this situation it is not your mind, but your brain, a physical object, controlling your body, another physical object, within the world, a collection of physical object.

Mainstream science seems to come from the stand point that everything is physical, therefore your mind is little more than a software program running on the hardware of your brain. If you think about it, it is an odd problem. How does the mind, an immaterial thing, interact with the body, a material thing? This is the mind-body problem that you may have come across in your intro to Philosophy class. There was a recognition very early on that the forces of the mind, or the immaterial, do not appear to interact very well with the forces of the physical, of the material. This argument has evolved over time and it was brought up in its more current form by Rene DeCarts, but it basically boils down to this: how does the immaterial soul, or mind, affect the material body? Which can also be looked at as: is the world material, subject to unyielding laws, or is the world mental, or immaterial, which may be subjective and mutable? There is a very old argument that can be traced back to Plato and Aristotle in Ancient Greece, about the fundamental nature of reality. “ The Universe is Mental - held in the Mind of THE ALL.” - The Kybalion
