So soul means living. ? OK, so if that is the case which component of it escapes death? What amount of memory and/or personality does? It's a nice idea if it does but I have not seen any evidence for it so.....

What about sub cellular life stuff? The bits of a cell like say, mitochondria or chloroplasts can exist outside the cell and in the right circumstances reproduce. DNA has the same ability. This is used in DNA testing where they take a tiny sample and get it to reproduce it's self lots to then...

How about single celled animals? How about bacteria? How about plants? How about virus? Fungi?

To acknowledge another person as superiour in some sense, such as I acknowledge the police man as having authority over me when he directs trafic and I have to drive down a road I otherwise would not have I acknowledge his legal superiority over me in that situation. If, in a religious...

The person you see as having authority over you.

OK, if somebody else says that Mr X is apointed by God and they saw it happen. Would you accept that? Would you question it? Would you need evidence that they were not ripping you off? Or would you kneel down and accept your inferiority?

Ummm.... Who has this power then? I take it it's you. ?? Unless you see God apoint somebody as his rep on earth how do you tell if you should respect the other man's opinion more than yours??

So, me being an atheist, I'm not capable of doing it then. :)

I think this thread will be closed, and probably I'll be banned. That(at least the closing) is what seems to happen when the moderators here have difficult questions asked of Christianity.

From another thread People have in previous ages been burnt to death (lots of millions) over this sort of question. I might be seeing it wrongly, I am after all not a Christian. What does and what does not constitute saying unacceptable things in Christianity these days?

Here's my view; There's those Christians who do the religion light thing of only applying the bits they want to their life and thinking. This has only some negitive effects on their abilities to think and understand the world, and what is, and what is not, true. Then there's the more hard core...

Most of the world's present surface has been under water at some time or other. Not at the same time, just at some time. The way the land masses of the earth float around the place leads them to bob up and down. The seas between them get crushed up into mountain ranges. These processes, over...

I'm dyslexic. I can't spell. I'm crap at running. I'm good at making things with my hands. I'm OK a basic maths. I have a house for sale in France that I finished just in time for the global financial crisis. I am very suprised that a helicopter pilot thinks that centrifugal force is not...

Arni Manitoba, Where did you go to school? You are obviously highly capable and inteligent. That's why I say your education was poor because of gaps in your knowledge. Specifically geology, physical geography and physics/maths. Whatever school it was was rubish. You should have learnt a lot...

Supernatural encompasses whatever other magical spirts of faries or devils that people want to believe in despite the total lack of evidence. The way the world is today makes it a lot easier to believe something is watching out for mankind. It's never been this nice before.

I don't have aproblem with people practicing a belief in the supernatural, well it causes me puselment and stuff..., but I do have a problem with people using myth to gain power over and money from vunerable others. Centrifugal force is the result of the resistance of a mass to acceleration. It...

I am an atheist. I am one of those extreme ones who would like to see anyone who makes money from the clain that there is a great tooth fairy looking after you done for fraud. That however, is a very long way off. Fair enough. For the moment I would like it if less children were educationally...

The Christian faith has a very long histroy of trying to supress empirical data. You may well be of that opinion but most Christians, especially the active converts, are very much doing the deny the real world thing. The church, as a political power, is also strongly against such things as...

^ Whilst I personally consider all religion humanity's greatest weakness and "sin", I do understand that it would be unacceptable for this view to be imposed on others. I do however, think that the obstruction of decent education on grounds that you disagree with the subjects being taught in...

I want people to make sensable decisions. I don't want people to obstruct the education of their children. Not teaching geology and the other sciences because they understanding them causes you to know that Genisis is wrong in a literal sense is very bad in my view. In my view it's...
