Here’s a thought for ya.... In the beginning, man has thought there was a supreme being... Some say it was because that was how they explained the unknown. Lightning, thunder, earthquakes and a sundry of other natural activities. Man knew that he didn’t do it and whatever did do it was more powerful than him. Man started trying to appease these powerful gods and even worshipped them. Thinking this way they could be on the Gods good side. Also, internally, man felt there was something inside of him. He gave it many names. A soul, a spirit among other names depending where he was on the planet. Rushing to present times, man has developed numerous devises including the virtual headset that allows you to see things and games as if you are really seeing them. This is the model “T” stage of things to come. The movie Avatar had a machine that allowed a person to transfer their mental abilities to another form. To see hear, touch, smell and taste in this form even though he is not present in the form physically... Only mentally.... Elon Musk is working on a small round disk that sits on top of the head and can transmit data from the brain to a computer and vice versa. That’s a step towards the Avatar movie. China is developing robots with human features that can walk, talk and act like humans. Will Mr. Musk’s disk be able to transfer a college education into our brain? Will we be able to answer any question like we do on google now but just by thinking about it and not using a cell phone? Artificial organs, artificial limbs and artificial intelligence are skyrocketing in popularity. Will we mesh with robots? Become humanoids, androids or whatever you want to call a half human, half machine? Will we become all knowing invincible immortal lifeform? There’re many reasons why life on this planet exists that don’t make sense. 1. We have gasses that condense to liquids and condense further to solids EXCEPT WATER. Water condenses from a gas to a liquid but when it’s cooled to 4 degrees, it expands. If it did not expand, it would sink and lay in the bottom of the oceans. The oceans would prevent it from melting and prevent life from forming on this planet as we know it. Man has discovered genes, DNA and the atom. We know how to split the atom and edit the DNA and genes to control some birth defects among other things. We have deciphered 5% of the human genome. The remaining 95% will be known in the near future. We know the causes of lightning, and earthquakes. We no longer fabricate Gods to help us accept the unknown. HOWEVER, we still haven’ answered the question about us having a soul. Is there something inside of us that we don’t know about?.... Look at it this way.... Our bodies are like a car. Our bodies are machines that can be repaired much like we repair our cars.... When we ride inside of a car, the car is not us. It’s simply our method of transportation. … Now think about the Avatar. Are we our souls inside of our bodies? Are our bodies the method we use to survive on this planet? Our progression in science is exploding. Soon we will be immortal with the power to move things with just our minds. Maybe someday we may even shed our physical forms and become a pure energy source of super intelligence capable of creating worlds with just a thought.... Maybe we’ll create another earth and populate it with life forms that we can inhabit and enjoy the adventures of being alive. (again)

In the beginning, man believed in many gods. Monotheism is relatively recent. It may be foru or five thousand years old, but man is a lot older than that.

One word.... "Paragraphs."

fwiw "soul" and "life" are the same root word in the Bible--not to ruin a good yarn tho 🙂

Then maybe we can call it Earth and try to populate it three times through incest, always trying again because our created creatures are sinning and immoral.

We’re already enmeshed with computers, it is only serving us to buy products from the richest companies and maintain the status quo. If we don’t incorporate ethics into the system soon the world will become uninhabitable for most, and it will simply be because of humanities inability to adapt to change quickly enough.
Individuals can educate themselves and make better choices, but the masses won’t do this quickly enough to change the trajectory.
We need real leadership on this matter as a matter of urgency.

Keep it simple.
The first thing men needed was authority, but no one knew anything so they created a supernatural authority to grant political power to politicians, authority to bless weddings, births, and deaths.
It was useful until actual scientific competence became available. Now it’s just ape behavior.

So what came first? Mans language, or mans idea of a god? Because it seems animals need no God to seek after, they don't question why there is thunder, or why their babies are eaten..it is all part of an experience of the instinctual being. But than there us man, a completely separate being, intellectual and capable of have dominion over all creatures... no animal on earth can stand against a blue whale in the ocean, except a man.. no creature can stand against a lion in the jungle ..except a man . Our intellect is unexplainable..you can pretend evolution is rational all you want but no proof explains our intellect.. why is it that the dolphins have not evolved to build great underwater cities...they have been here much longer than we have. The bible gives the proper correlation of evolution of animals man got wrong though we are now realizing the bible was right thousands of years ago. But we are different, we are gifted.. what I call a soul you merely call energy though they are one in the same.. and with modern technology we can actually watch the energy leave the body at the time of death..yet we know energy doesn't begin or end.. how ironic these ideas the took us thousands of years to proof were foretold In the ancient texts accredited to god... we live in an amazing era, that only strengthens the bible.. its irony that everyday that goes by science and discovery makes the athiest community look more religious than the bible thumpers...we both have access to the same knowledge, except I also utilize the bible, so I have access to one more piece of knowledge than you do..and it just so happens to be the most important literature regarding science and origins and truth....one of the oldest intact literatures, with more copies than any other, the highest selling and most sought after literature in history...billions have promised its ability to prove the divinity of god in the pages...it has changed billions of hearts, some of the most evil pwople in history have changed to some of the best because of it..it promises to prove the truth to you if you would only sincerely seek it...yet you call me foolish because I opened it...laughable...truly laughable..I feel sorry for you brother..you have no clue what you are saying...the bible is the only subject in history, that the most famous professional debunkers, admit they haven't even read it..ie richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens ect...Matt dildicky says he read it like many atheists.. until they meet someone who actually has...than they look like fools...the atheists religion is truly the strangest religion in history..

Ummm... No. ☺

I thought I was the only one who thinks about things like that. Today these idead may be considered as a science fiction or a fantasy novel, but as we learn more about DNA and make more scientific discoveries, we might develop a technology that is able to see the energy that we think of as our spirit or soul, in the same way an xray machine or MRI machine can map the inner working of our brain and body. We are just beginning to learn, but if the religious groups get their way, it will be harder to reach. People were imprisoned and killed by the church for stating that the earth was not flat and not the center of the universe.
