Meaning It was 6000 years ago that man made in the image of God was expelled from the garden.

Quote:There is all sorts of proof of life- there's a whole science- Biology- based around it. Are you talking about life after death?No what i am saying is that if there is proof of a soul, it will be found in our living. once we die the what physical proof there is will also be Gone.
Quote:Since you said you couldn't say that souls were immaterial, does that mean you think they could have a physiological/genetic basis? Because that really would be problematic for reasons I'll get into if you like.Possiably.

Honestly I don't know and really dont care too much. The above mentioning of the 21 grams we loose at death is what stuck in my mind good bad or indifferent.
