Thats entirely accurate. Infact neuroscience outright proves this. It is the result of biological components interacting.

Given the nature of the OP, I don't think this comment really gets to the salient issues.  You have to get a lot deeper to get to the philosophical arguments here.

Why stop there? There are so many subjects we need to go deep into and reach the philosophical truths of. 
I mean, we assume cars travel through locomotion caused by a combustion engine but maybe theres a metaphysical aspect to that too. Something we can't comprehend in the background that helps make it move.
Why these metaphysical questions are only directed towards god and the mind is an utter mystery to me. I'm sure it has nothing to do with ego or a fear of death.
