I find your statement paradoxical and a Straw Man because it is reductionists (generally those with a strong and first training in hard science) that have a problem with mind being an emergent property while non-reductionists do not suggest that mind is beyond the laws of physics. I think you are arguing against Dualism while ignoring the entire modern field of Philosophy of Mind. Granted, most are not Philosophers of Mind and most are religious and therefore dualists... but they are not philosophers nor do they provide any supporting or dissenting arguments. And even the reductionists will say things like "I have a body," rather than what we should expect, "I am a body." There is more to Philosophy of Mind than dualists and non-dualists... such as Behavioralism, Functionalism, etc., there is a long list of perspectives.
