They don't, and there's no proof of it.

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

I actually just posted my opinion of that on the Religion board.

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

If the term "G-D" signifies "creator," then yes, there must scientifically be one.

"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."

It is never wise to assume what your fellow contributor's answer will be...

"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 far I haven't felt that need.

"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!"

Socrates is actually much better IMHO.

"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!"

My response might be infantile, but you have failed to show why you feel it is... other than to rant with ad hominems that generally show an inability to answer the statement.

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

It is not a belief, it is a biological fact accepted by all biologists that I have ever come across.

In the future, if you respond to my posts without anything of merit, then I will not respond. This is your first response to me, however, so I thought it fair to respond once and explain why you will be ignored in the future if your abilities are not used to a higher extent.
