Is it because that is the generally accepted creationist-derived age of the universe?no, because from now till the time of adam via the jewish geneologies and records of time from Christ to Adam about 6000 years have past. Meaning It was 6000 years ago that man made in the image of God was expelled from the garden.
I find your answer to be very silly anyway. Because of the unreliability of your source and the fact that they openly tell everyone they learnt about the creation through "divine revelation". Come on.
Quote:This is very interesting for one reason. I once sat in a lecture (in a legit university) on traditional chinese medicine, and when the prof was explaining the Qi (lifeforce or idk what, a lot like soul, they can't really define it), she claimed that the reason they haven't found it is because it's gone after someone dies. So when you cut open the body you don't find anything.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.
Forgetting that we perform surgeries on live human beings everyday.
Quote: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.
the 21 grams presupposes that whatever was lost was the soul. I actually read about all this soul thing, the published papers, etc. etc.[/quote], not convinced.
