Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

No... I don't believe in ghosts or spirits, and I'm not superstitious. I believe in our spirit, God the spirit ...sure.


"Houston we have a problem" ...... anyway.

I strongly disagree with phantom notions being attached to the physical, I disagree that you cannot separate "you" from the physical that actually makes you, you.

In other words if you read my description of how the body is made you will realise "you" is an "us" and if you are an "us" how can you have an individual soul?

Now you may not like me adding scientific facts to spirits but you would still need to address that question of who exactly is said spirit representing, you are not a single being?

It's not that I dislike you adding scientific facts to the supernatural DD, it's just I don't see how you can. The (biblical) soul is referred to as a person's phisical being as well as their metaphysical being. The two things make up us. If we're discussing the soul, then we need to address both. I know very well the physical make up of the body ...no disagreement there. I just want to understand how you dismiss something integral to the subject.

Silly question really.

Better question would be:

'is there a teapot orbiting this planet?'
