Answer 1

I have an interesting theory on this. As of right now, most believe there is no way to destroy energy, matter yes, but energy only changes form...We all know that virtually all life and all substances known have some form of energy (positive and negatively charged usually)....anyway, I believe that the soul is a projection of what is left after the body leaves us. It in essence is the willful form underneath our skin.

Once our body dies, electrical impulses still flow through the body for a limited amount of time after which I can only assume the charges leave the body (kind've like our own gravitational field) as there is nothing functioning (such as the synapses in the brain) that causes charge/energy. At this time our soul and all knowlege we've acquired is free to do as it pleases. Most go where they've always believed they were to go (heaven/hell/valhalla/ another world/no where/ etc) as all that is left is pure impulse and knowledge. Though all knowledge may not be true, it is relevant and thus builds our own reality. So I kind've feel like everyone would be right in this instance. It is what we allow it to be.

This would explain people's near death experiences, they see what they want to see and when their body is revived, they remember the 'after life.'

Answer 2

what do u mean is the belief in a soul rational or the soul itself rational?

If the belief in a soul; I would say that yes and I belive it is humbling to those who think there is a greater power other than our selves spoken from a Catholic point of view.

And I think that the soul is your personality, beliefs, and the way you think. So I would say yes.
