"I have no need to believe anything..."

Which one of the ontological presuppositions of scientism, atomistic materialism, mechanistic alienation, and the materialistic paradigm are you prepared to dispense "belief" in?

Do you think inert matter causes consciousness? What is the epistemological foundation of that conclusion, logically, empirically, or otherwise?

"Do you think inert matter causes consciousness?"

Is that any different from thinking that consciousness causes matter?

Isn't either just as much a "miracle"?
