Answer 1

The following exhibits should inform you logically a spirit does not exist
A.) The spirit that should not logically exist:


Its this simple with a rational logical theory.
If you cut off your arm (lets just say) you will not be able to move that arm, because it is not attached to your body (which is attached to your brain) any more.
To be able to move freely you must have a brain, a stone does not roll around on its own, a tree will never talk.
Your spirit would lack all movement, because of its significant amount of knowledge to have it move on its own.
Choice A. has led me to believe there is only death when you die.
B.) The spirit that could logically exist:

Even if some how your brain function could exist out of your body, when you are dead, there would have to be a source for that movement for spiritual energy to exist.
All movement has a source of which it exists from.
All energy has a source for energy.
With out the source the energy will not exist for long.
For instance when you turn off a light some say the light just goes out.
This is wrong, the light that was once traveling outwards causing light to fill the room, will fade off from the source.
Although it happens with in mill secs this action still takes place.
There is no way you can turn off a light, and have the light still exist, for only but a second.
Which may be a good example of reincarnation in the future exhibits.
But since the exhibit is dealing with the souls existence after death it is unfortunatly impossible.
The brain is the source of all movement, through are every day human lives.
We can not move things with are souls that exist with in us, there is no telekinesis of the any kind present with in every humans person.
So therefore I can finally conclude that the human soul does not exist, for if it did it would have to exist just as the wind, which is a force of energy.
With out the force of energy there is no rational conclusion that you can have for an essence to have a presence, in any form.
Choice B. has led me to believe there is only death when you die.
C.) Reincarnating.
Reincarnation is more likely then any other type of life after death experience.
Yet it is still highly unlikely.
Some say that they can see their past lives, in dreams, and memories.
Dreams are just images that are made up of other images, any image is possible to exist with in any kind of image break down that is done by the human brain, and then sorting of those images to form new images in which one has a dream.

Memories of the past life:
We have millions of genetics flowing through are bodies and billions of chemicals with in each one of those genes.
There is a theory that states that some of your genetics hold past memories of our dead relatives and even of our liv3 ones.
Hence the term Genetic memory.
It only takes two things to make a baby, father and a mother.
To say that memories are being instilled by your genetic system, to some is completely irrational.
A memory is can be considered a indent of information.
The indent of genes through your entire facial and body appearance can be seen.
Your body is made just for you! Your body is your Genetic composer.
So why not the information that gives you your looks also give you memory indention's.
A memory is not just one picture, it is not just one input of data, but a trail of data that would have to exist in a small portion of your membranes from which your Genetics composition is made out of.
It is as easy to believe that these memories of your past lives come from the existence of your past lives as it is easy to believe they come from genes in your human body.
Genes just make more rational sense.
A past memory that comes from your past life would have to be a figment of existence that exists within you even after you die.
So really all that you are implying when you say you have a memory from your past life, is that you have a memory that took place outside of your existing body.
Its more logical to say that these memories come from genetics then from an existence of your past brain, your past body, but your eternal soul.

Remember the example of the light fading out when the light is switched off?
Buddha put it in simpler terms saying that we are all candles lit on fire, and that when we die another candle is lit, from that same fire.
Lets try and make this example a little bit more adequate for rational common sense.
When your body dies, your soul is released and then is sucked in by a babies new human existence.
Your source of energy that exist with in you, starts to fade in the existence of atoms all around your dying body, then as soon as a child is born, your particles of existence travel through space to the new existence of life.
Its like throwing a feather into the middle of the air, and then having a vacuum sucking the feather in.
A baby is not a vacuum on the rational basis of what life really is.
On the spiritual basis, it is life, it is the vacuum of nothing, into the existence of something, which is life.
When saying you are a spiritual essence other then your genetic composer you are saying your are more then just your mothers, and fathers child but some one that used to live in a whole another existence, that now some how lives in the particular one that it exists in you now.
Buddha says that the soul will one day finally exist with in nirvana.
This would have to mean the soul is building up energy, ying or yang as it goes through these metaphorical candles per say.
Instead of thinking of just a light from a light bulb you would have to think of it as the existence for ever, the eternal light that has built up to shine forever.
Choice C, is possible, but when it ties in with choice D, it becomes irrational.
D.) Eternal life.
The problem with forever is that , forever is a very long time.
It is like walking a plank, but ever time you walk another step closer to the edge the edge becomes the same distance away from where you are standing on it before you took the step.
You will never reach the edge of that infinite plank, it will keep growing for eternity.
After awhile, you will cry in pain because you want to reach that edge of the plank for ever this is why there is no eternal life.
There is an end to that plank of life, it is death.
That's all you get to face, its the the most rational chose there is.

Answer 2

Are you asking if the soul is capable of reasoning by itself or if it has to use the brain/body as a tool?

Christian theology has historically made a very strong distinction between the soul (or mind) and the body, so I'm pretty sure that they (the old theologians) would say that the soul had some sort of capacity for reason.

The relatively new field of neuroscience is rapidly finding correlations between many of the aspects of 'mind' and specific locations or processes in the brain. Many people will choose to uphold the mind - body distinction as a matter of faith. I personally see absolutely no inherent reason or justification to do so, which makes my answer the latter -- the 'soul' uses the brain and body as a tool.

Answer 3

Soul is Us! It is as rational as it can be!
It operates through mind to run the body!

Answer 4

I don't remember who said that, I don't remember what were the exact words, but the essence was that if human were able to explain the human brain, we were to stupid to do it. I.e. the brain is so complicated and so unexplored that we don't really know what's going on there. I think that the "soul" is just another unexplained part of the brain, so it is kind of rational.

Answer 5

i check out the soul as being the interaction between be counted and spirit. The thoughts operates very similar to a working laptop or computing gadget processor and has the thoughts overseeing its functioning. The actual, emotional and psychological bodies are automobiles for expression of the soul. The impressions we acquire from the soul could seem to us as irrational yet as quickly as we come to an understanding of those impressions they're certainly rational. As we come to function greater and greater under the impression of the soul we grow to be an expression of soul existence portrayed as expertise and compassion.

Answer 6

If our Souls use our bodies as a vehicle, and our brains as a means of discernment and expression, then the body and brain are tools.

Answer 7

It might not be rational but it may be rationalized. The soul could be interpreted as your concious and subconcious together with your electrical force or "ora." In other words it simply your "life" or "living force." When you die your electrical force stops. In that sense your soul has left your body.

Answer 8

Rationalization was a myth, humans don't have a natural rationalization. Allot of people would agree with you and then allot of people would say it's irrational to assume we have a soul.
