Do you believe when one does pass away, the physical body is vanished but the "spirit" remains scientifically?

Question

I am not a religious person (but my background was Christian), but I do want to know how everyone of us become human beings. Is it because of revolutions from lower species or from through creation? Thanks!

Answer 1

I was also raised Christian but wasn't sincere until my early 20's. As I stepped out in sincere faith things began to happen in the spiritual realm I'd never experienced before. Even though they are definitely real I cannot prove it to another.
As far as "scientifically", I remember some study where they found when someone died they actually lost a little weight when their spirit left them. Kind of interesting.

Answer 2

I personally believe in a creationist evolution, by which I mean that I believe that the facts that scientists have found on and in the ground verify Darwin's Theory of Evolution. However, I also believe that a Maker could very well use such a mechanism to make His Creation. Why would He do it that way? This is a religious question. Does evolution work? That is a scientific question. Both have their place, and by separating them, I find that I do not come into conflict.

Incidentally, you may be interested in "The Emperor's New Mind" by Roger Penrose. If you are looking for solid evidence that the mind is more than just a computer, Roger Penrose pulls together all the science of the 20th Century to make that case.

Answer 3

I don't believe in "spirit", but in personal experiences and backgrounds ( and genetic make-up ) i do. I think that reancarnation, heaven-hell concepts are invented over time by mankind to ease the fear of death. Especially in today's modern world, where everything happens so fast, and the fact of being mortal is brused aside in the rush. Notice how quickly ceremonies are carried out and "the dead" is taken out of life and time, like never really existed. There were times when mourning lasted 40 days, widows never got remarried etc. If you take time and look at the big picture; life is getting so "fastforward" that you might think maybe the "ending credits" are soon; This fact, in fact, can easily be observed at "brand new" profecies about armageddon( and how it is so close etc.) .People are biologically not adapted to this much change and development, but if there were souls and a well organised exam for them "Earth": then what is the problem? shouldn't we intinctively be ready to all these i mentioned?

One think we can do, is to first accept the fact, than make the best of it. Be glad that life expectancy of mankind is growing. and also, take a step back from time to time, and realise that we all(without exception) have a counter on us, that cannot be stopped until it reaces zero, and "there is a zero!"

To the first part, a person can be understood to have a spirit, a soul (mind, will and emotions) and a body. Think of a person as God intended having all three, like three layers. The spirit in a person is God's Spirit and he runs the place. The soul (or a human's spirit) is subject to the Spirit of God, and lives to obey God. The body is subject to both.

In the fall though, the Spirit of God is no longer in a person. We are all born with a soul and a body, but without God's Spirit in a person the soul tries to run the show, and things reverse themselves. A person can become carnal, or of the flesh, that is they are ruled by their feelings, their mind, or will, and these take extremes of addiction, resentment, bitterness, anger, etc. anything that is against God's Spiritual nature. A person just isn't meant to work that way, but that is what happens.

When a person is saved by God, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in a person and is meant to take charge. But the soul, used to running the show its own way will not give up its role easily. This process of submitting to God's Spirit and being led by His Spirit is a lifelong struggle in the christian.

When a person dies, their soul departs the body. The body becomes an empty shell, lifeless. They say the body when dead looks changed, different, empty. And it is. Without the human soul the body is just 'dust' - when we were created God breathed life into the dust-vessel; when we depart the life departs from it.

The bible shows that God created people, and he made them different from the rest of creation. There is something of God's image in us, in our natures. We desire to love, to be loved, to create, to have purpose and to fulfil that purpose, to build, to achieve. God created us. We are not apes, and regardless of physical similarities it is clear that something separates us from them, and that something is of God, something that conceives of the eternal, has a sense of spirituality, blushes, does things no animal could ever do.

If God could create the universe, then it should be no harder to believe that he created us, complex and intricate, and different from anything else. We are human because of what God put in us, and evolution is only a theory that doesn't hold water.

Answer 5

It is my belief that life itself, as exemplified by DNA, is the essential spirit that moves through time from our primordial past into the unimaginable future. I don't think that the little thing we call "I" is any different in any person.
I believe that we are pieces of of our Mom and Dad, and that they are pieces of theirs. The traits that make us individual exist because we are now in this body, no longer in our antecedents. When I look into the mirror it is my mother's eyes that look back at me...

I have been told this is a form of animism.

I have no proof of this, but it seems infinitely more logical than the disembodied spirits that standard religion demands we accept.

Perhaps it is not an utterly comforting thought to many, who would like to think that "I" survives death. I think it transforms into the next "I" in our children... and that all that's lost is ego.

Answer 6

You are asking two different question, but here's an opinion for you.
I believe that the spirit remains after one dies (not necessarily the Heaven and Hell concept).
I believe that evolution IS creation. That's right - God is still working at it.

Answer 7

Your soul goes to heaven or hell depending on your salvation. If you are saved you will go to heaven. If you are a sinner you will go to hell. The human body becomes the dust of the earth.

Answer 8

Scientifically when we die there is no energy,so there is nothing left but memories.
A few days ago I read what Hawking said in Hong-Kong He said we are a civilized ape.We don't like to here it but that is what we are

Answer 9

I dunno 'bout that. But here's a scientific finding - a scientist who weighed the body of a man b4 & just after his death found a discrepancy of 22g. Later it was concluded that the 'soul' weighs 22g. That means it is scientifically proved that the soul does exist. Amazing, isn't it?
