exactly fink.... they are based on the animation of the living stopping and the ignorance of why and what changed. The assumption being the inner you, the soul departing. I see why they thought it.... but in 2014, such ideas are hope and faith alone, evidence has shown us exactly why and what happens. Just as all living organisms cease to function so do we. Does a soul depart a dead tree, a dead bacterium? A dead pig?
If you reject the existence of the soul then you are an Animist?

I’m talking about truth in terms of mathematics not the physical universe. There is a difference! In point of fact the word ‘prove` and `proof` formally only applies to mathematics and not science. It is a truth to say in mathematics that A x B will always be the same as B x A. There is likely more truths in mathematics awaiting discovery but they can be proved true or false and not all mathematics applies to the universe.

Did you know the moon is exactly 75,000 zingabumbums smaller than the sun, but 75,000 zingabumbums nearer to us than the sun...so it fits perfectly over it...
See, there is a god!

That is because we have said what 'multiply' means, so A x B is the same as B x A, but A - B is not equal to B - A.
SO WHAT! we made the rules of math! They work because we made them and we are simply using them to describe what is logical and evident.
Where on earth do you crowbar a soul into ANY of this?

Thanks for the discussion.

Ironically the thought of souls stems from human imagination together with emotive theory.
Since there never has been any human experience to back any of these claims, that is where it rests
until proven otherwise.

For the purposes of this discussion soul is synonymous with consciousness.

Well my consciousness tells me that souls do not exist so therefore I must be dead.
