Human Composition: More than chemical, I say

If all we are is chemicals that have combined randomly to form these bodies in which we live, where do our deepest desires come from? Why do we ask why? Why do we ponder our own existence? Why do we seek knowledge, betterment of self, happiness and love? Why do we have dreams and follow them? Why do we feel emotions and not just physical sensations? Why are we not just simple animals? I say there must be a soul in us humans. Given all our dreams and feelings and passions and philosophical thoughts, I say there must be something that lives on when our hearts have ceased to beat.
