I have been following your meander herebouts for a few weeks and you just get better and better at exposing who you are.

Let’s start with this SOUL thingy. WHY does anyone have to have a soul?

For that matter what the hell is a SOUL anyway? How does one answer the un-answerable? Ah, 'invention'!

This line of thought is no different than there has to be a G-D.

YOU DO NOT have an answer for either! Except for that is YOUR belief! And what is a belief? You can ‘believe’ you are gifted, or what ever, YOUR belief does NOT make it so.

Just as a belief there is a G-D or SOUL, it is a belief! I suppose when you believe it strong enough you feel you have to make it tangible. LOT’S of luck with that one!

So go ahead and pull an Aristotle ‘if it does this and that, and then some of this and more of that’ it PROVES what?, that it is what it is? This thinking doesn’t prove Jack Apple Crap!

IT ONLY PROVES THAT IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE!

Sage; ***Comments like "when life begins," and questions of whether a z/e/f is as alive as an appendix show me that this post is not up to a level worth a detailed response.***

Your response is infantile! As is the inference of your thinking. This thinking suggests an overdose of GRANDIOSITY on your part.

You kinda remind me of a three year old that just learned to ride a bicycle and by ‘osmosis’ also now has all the kills to pilot a 747. Try to be a bit ‘humble’. Recognizing that you are a part of the ‘universe’ does NOT put you in charge of it! It was here waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before you and will be after!

SAGE; ***To answer when life begins - life does not begin.***

Interesting! We needed to ‘know’ that! THAT my friend would be YOUR ‘belief’! And that statement would only be ‘true’ to/by your definition.

SAGE; ***Life continues from the living sperm and egg and becomes the life of a separate organism when the two unite into a zygote.***

“If” that is what YOU believe!

SAGE; ***To answer if an appendix is as alive as a z/e/f - yes, absolutely... and just as alive as you are.***

“IF” that is what YOU believe!

SAGE; ***You are the combined effect of billions of living cells***

AGREED!

SAGE; *** just as your appendix is, just as the zygote is***

AGREED!

SAGE; ***(except the zygote is made of one living cell).***

Oh! Really!

SAGE; ***Have fun.***
