If there is a God, do you think it is possible that every atom has it's own soul?

Answer 1

yes, God is present even in the atom..it's described in a book called the bhagavad gita as it is...

Answer 2

Personally, I believe there is a God, whose name is Yahweh, and His Son is Jesus Christ. I do not believe that every atom has a soul. In fact, it could easily be inferred from Genesis that man does not "have" a soul.

No don't get upset quickly. Read on... Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

So, man does not have a soul, he IS a soul. Further evaluation of the Hebrew makes it clear that animals are also souls, and even dead bodies are souls. Pretty peculiar idea for many people. Ask your SS teacher or pastor more.

Consequently, if man is a soul, then he is a soul in his totality, not in each of his atoms, though perhaps in the sum of all of his atoms. Just a thought.

Answer 3

Possible. I see the soul as just a part of us that resides on another plane, so why couldn't these atoms partially reside there too?

Answer 4

Splitting the atom makes more souls, so this is great! We should have a big nuclear war and do Gods' work!!! Yeah, tactical nukes!!!

Answer 5

An unmanifested atom is an atom. A manifested atom has consciousness and intellect and ego.

Answer 6

No, because the indicator for the presence of a soul is life. Philosophically speaking, an animal has a sensative soul, a plant has a vegitative soul, and a human has an intellectual soul. Man is the only creature God made with 3 components to his existence (physical, mental, and spiritual). It is in this way we are created not just in God's image, but in the image of the Holy Trinity. Mankind is the only visible creature that has free will and the ability to know their Creator.

So, inannimate matter does not have a soul but is controlled by spiritual forces (angels & demons). St. Thomas Aquinas studied Aristotolain logic. He applied that knowledge and methodology to Christianity. This is his 5 proofs of the existence of God.

ARTICLE 2. Whether It Can Be Demonstrated That God Exists?

I Answer that, Demonstration can be made in two ways. One is through the cause, and... The other is through the effect... When an effect is better known to us than its cause, from the effect we proceed to the knowledge of the cause. And from every effect the existence of its proper cause can be demonstrated, so long as its effects are better known to us, because since every effect depends upon its cause, if the effect exists, the cause must pre-exist. Hence the existence of God, in so far as it is not self-evident to us, can be demonstrated from those of His effects which are known to us.

ARTICLE 3. Whether God Exists?

I answer that, The existence of God can be proved in five ways.
The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion.... [Newton’s second law of motion] whatever is moved must be moved by another. If that by which it is moved be itself moved, then this also must be moved by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover, seeing that subsequent movers move only because as they are moved by the first mover... Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover which is moved by no other. And this everyone understands to be God.
The second way is from the notion of efficient cause.... There is no case known (nor indeed, is it possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself, because in that case it would be prior to itself, which is impossible.... Now to take away the cause is to take away the effect.... Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God.
The third way is taken from possibility and necessity... [or] to be or not to be. ...If everything is possible not to be, then at one time there could have been nothing in existence. Now if this were true, even now there would be nothing in existence, because that which does not exist only begins to exist by something already existing. [FACT: Matter can not be destroyed nor created; at most it changes form i.e. solid, liquid, gas. Physical Law: the first law of Thermodynamics.] Therefore, if at one time nothing was in existence, it would have been impossible for anything to have begun to exist; and thus even now nothing would be in existence -- which is clearly false. Therefore, not all beings are merely possible, but there must exist something the existence of which is necessary.... Therefore we must admit the existence of some being having of itself its own necessity, and not receiving it from another, but rather causing in others their necessity. This all men speak of as God.
The fourth way is taken from the gradation to be found in things. Among beings there are some more and some less good, true, noble, and the like. But “more” and “less” are predicated of different things [like a match in comparison to the sun]... Therefore there must also be something which is to all beings the cause of their being [a Supreme Being], goodness, and every other perfection. And this we call God.
The fifth way is taken from the governance of things. We see that things which lack knowledge, such as natural bodies, act for an end... Hence it is plain that they achieve their end not by chance, but by design. Now whatever lacks knowledge cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence, as the arrow is directed by the archer. Therefore some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are ordered to their end; and this being we call God.

Answer 7

Catholicism/ Christianity actually implies this.

The Eucharist is our "Eating & Drinking the body of Christ" so that we may become the Body of Christ . It could be an atom ... dunno ... but scripture reveals that Christ is the head.

1267 Baptism makes us members of the Body of Christ: "Therefore . . . we are members one of another." Baptism incorporates us into the Church. From the baptismal fonts is born the one People of God of the New Covenant, which transcends all the natural or human limits of nations, cultures, races, and sexes: "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body."

All of us who have received one and the same Spirit, that is, the Holy Spirit, are in a sense blended together with one another and with God. For if Christ, together with the Father's and his own Spirit, comes to dwell in each of us, though we are many, still the Spirit is one and undivided. He binds together the spirits of each and every one of us, . . . and makes all appear as one in him. For just as the power of Christ's sacred flesh unites those in whom it dwells into one body, I think that in the same way the one and undivided Spirit of God, who dwells in all, leads all into spiritual unity.

Answer 8

Well first there IS a God :) Second, no...because atoms are nothing but our physical make up. Or part of it.

Answer 9

I do believe that all things created, which includes everything, has a spirit and energy to it. Rather this is what we conceive as a soul or not I do not know.

Answer 10

Nope
