<dons mathematician hat> Sufficiently complex processes will and do give rise to chaotic and unpredictable behaviors. Something as straightforward as a hand-cranked eggbeater will produce an effect so complex that the *exact* results are unpredictable.

Chaos theory is only about a half century old, but it is a good model for understanding how deterministic systems produce unpredictable outcomes. The idea that a complex but completely deterministic brain could produce imagination and creativity isn't far-fetched at all. It seems to be inevitable.
