Excerpt from Matter and Spirit, or the Problem of Human Thought: A Philosophical Argument But to the question, Can God organize matter so that it can think? We answer, Yes. But our Opponents say, A stone, a stick, dust, water, iron - these are material. -they have no intelli gence. Hence matter cannotthink.
