That
you have a soul worth is now validated scientifically.
Medical science has confirmed you have a consciousness separate from your
body20 in that:
No stimulus to the brain can make
you believe or decide anything.
Stimuli to the brain can cause
memories to play back or muscles to contract; however, these are perceived by
the patients as external to their conscious “self”.
There is no centralizing section of
the brain that unifies your memories and the input/output sections.
What you think about can physically
affect your health, (for every effect there must be a cause; and if not your
soul, there is nothing that could be causing positive or negative health
effects).
Evidence from near death
experiences denote conscious activity even during period of no brain activity;
however, the amount of data is limited.
Certain experiments have shown a
delay in the awareness of a specific stimulation after the signals reached the
brain. Another experiment quantified a delay between a mental command and
a response within
the brain.
Also,
argument for the existence of your soul can be made from the following
compelling lines of reasoning:
You have free will.
Your brain consists of nothing but matter, and for a given system of
matter and conditions, has no options or free will; therefore, something
separate from your physical brain, (your soul), must “cause” your free will.
If there is no soul, you really do not have free will, and you are just a
special configuration of atoms.
Most of the molecules in your
change out every couple of months. You
would cease to be you, (you would be someone different), if there was no soul
that provides continuity and remains “you” while your brain is constantly
changing out. Said another way, some
people have lost most of their memories and even half of their brain, yet we
don’t think of those people as loosing half or more of who they are because
their soul provides continuity.
Scientists have not been able to
directly qualify characteristics of someone’s soul, yet you still believe in
yourself. If you do not have a soul,
you do not exist.
So
if we have souls and our Creator is fair, then how can evil exist if everything
our Creator has made is good? .................
