The Athiest Thread

How about free will? Is our every thought and decision nothing more than a bunch of electrochemical reactions inside a lump of fats and sugars?

That is correct, though the human body is made up of more than fats and sugars, lol.

yet you talk like you were raised by wolves.

THAT'S THE JOKE.


ONCE AGAIN, IT'S ASTONISHING YOU DON'T EVEN MENTION MY MAIN POINT. "DURR, EVIDENCE, THAT'S FOR SUCKERS. I LIKE TO MAKE WEAK ASSUMPTIONS INSTEAD. THEN I CALL IT REASONABLE FAITH."

Well, maybe your body isn't a lump of fats and sugars but I was refering to the brain.

Like a study that I cited earlier in this thread, turns out our body is only really about 1/10th actually ours. Scientists did an audit of cells in/on the human body and found that we have ten times more microbes/bacteria cells than actual human cells. But anyway, as far as the brain goes when a part of it is dead or damaged there's no evidence that information is retained through some "upload" to a spiritual plane. Stroke victims have to relearn speech and motor functions. The damaged tissue doesn't get repaired. New pathways are formed in other parts of the brain if the victim's lucky. If information was part of the soul and the person's still alive, then they would still have their soul and that information right ? If they still had their soul they should be able to identify loved ones but that's not the case.

One of my Muslim friends said that our souls want to be born in this existence. Too bad for those North Korean souls.
