A body can lose a number of parts (arms, legs, etc.) and still survive. A soul is one entity; when it leaves it takes everything with it. It does not leave behind things like eyesight or hearing. A damaged eye can be repaired and sight restored because the part of the soul that gives sight is still in the body. A body is mostly voids. Many x-rays pass straight through without hitting anything. Electrons make up much of the body. Scientists cannot tell is an electron is a particle or a wave. One reason a body seems real is weight, the pull of gravity. A body out in space will float around like a soul. The body decomposes rapidly when the soul leaves.
An animal has the spark of life, the five senses and an expandable memory. A human has these three plus two more: Understanding and free will. These five ethereal things make up a soul. Understanding example: A three, four, five right triangle. Free will example: A human can sit by a plate of food and go on a hunger strike.
Scientists tell us the body evolved from a primordial soup over millions of years. At some point special genes popped up and caused rapid expansion in the large brain that makes us human. Houston Chronicle 12/20/04: “17 brain-building genes mutated at a tremendously rapid rate in humans, compared with the brains of chimpanzees.” See also Genesis Chapter two verse seven.
The soul is inserted into the embryo the instant the sperm fertilizes the egg. An embryo can be moved to another womb and still develop into a grown person.
Many men now place a barrier between the sperm and the egg. No embryo is formed. Where do the souls go?
