34571 G12 Y134 The Same Fate Has Befallen The Soul

Q&@

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT ALL OUR ACTIONS
AND DECISIONS EMANATE FROM OUR SOULS?
YET IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY SUPPORTING EVIDENCE,
AND GIVEN THE EXISTENCE OF MUCH MORE DETAILED ALTERNATIVE THEORIES,
THE LIFE SCIENCES HAVE DITCHED THE SOUL! As private individuals, many biologists and doctors
may go on believing in 'souls'. Yet they never write about them in serious scientific journals.........
Maybe the mind should join the soul, God and ether in the gigantic dustbin of science?
After all, no one has ever seen experiences of pain or love through a microscope, and we do have
a very detailed biochemical explanation for pain & love that leaves no room for subjective
experiences! However, there is a crucial difference between mind and soul (as well as between
mind and God)! Whereas the existence of eternal souls is pure conjecture, the experience of pain
is a direct and very tangible reality. When I step on a nail, I can be 100% certain that I feel pain
(even if I so far lack a scientific explanation for it)! In contrast, I cannot be certain that if the
wound becomes infected & I die of gangrene, my soul will continue to exist? It's a very interesting
ànd comforting story which I would be happy to believe, but I have no direct evidence for its
veracity! Since all scientists constantly experience subjective feelings such as pain & doubt,
they cannot deny their existence.
