Perplexing to Atheism: Mind and Morality

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son....
Romans 1:9
 
"The origin of mind and morality from energy and atoms has long been a problem for the materialist. 
It is a major theme of philosopher Thomas Nagel’s book, Mind and Cosmos,.....
 
A fig tree produces figs, not apples. That seems obvious. Likewise,
physics and chemistry produce physical and chemical outcomes. However,
mind and morality are not just matters of physics and chemistry. Sure, creatures that are physical and chemical have mind and morality, but how did such non-material things arise from the material? 
 
This is a serious problem for materialism, and the Atheist Nagel candidly admits it, to the extreme annoyance of his atheistic colleagues." CMI
