More accurately I believe it's the spirit which carries on, but we're talking about the same thing What I'm trying to say is that this is of least importance to Christians. What's really important is the present and how you can improve that. That's what fellowship with Christ enables.
Science, as it defines itself, does not cover the metaphysical, only the physical. So if you're waiting for scientific evidence then your wait is for science. If you're waiting for current science to prove the metaphysical then that's illogical.
Ah, in that case I understand you a little better, but I'm also more confused. Spirit and soul, what's the difference?
Since I don't believe in anything metaphysical either, I'm suggesting that if the soul was a real thing, then it could be proven. Perhaps not by any branch of science we know today, but who knows what we might discover in the future.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
