Answer 1

You had posted that (in your opinion) "Mind is the collection of energy force which drive living thing's brain. Soul is the driving force (energy) or attribute of Mind."

When addressing matters of proof or disproof of the existence of something, "opinion" is irrelevant, only the facts matter! There is no evidence for the existence of a "soul", and numerous logical thought experiments you can do yourself to conclude there is no such entity.

The dictionary, however, defines "mind" as:

1. (in a human or other conscious being) the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges, etc.: the processes of the human mind.
2. Psychology. the totality of conscious and unconscious mental processes and activities.
3. intellect or understanding, as distinguished from the faculties of feeling and willing; intelligence.

Therefore, there is more than ample evidence that "MIND" has been proven to exist in all higher primates, most mammals, and countless other animal organisms. There is also evidence that it does not exist in many simpler animals, and there is no evidence of "mind" in any members of the Plant, Fungi, Protista or Monera Kingdoms.

Answer 2

Try starting with science. Science covers two parts of what it means to be human. The body is relatively well understood. The mind is less understood, but it is a manifestation of the activity of the brain. Science has a fairly good grasp of the kind of mental activity going on in various animals. If you choose to call the sun-tracking of a sunflower, or the water-seeking of roots, an operation of mind, you could, but it wouldn't be a scientific view.

The soul or spirit of man isn't physical. It's unlikely that science will ever be able to prove or disprove its existence. For a good overview of how it could all make sense, see the reference, written by a well-respected scientist, the head of the Human Genome Project.

Answer 3

There are some things which are so obvious that they don't need proof. If we accept mind as the collection of emotions and thoughts, all the higher animals exhibit mind. That doesn't mean that the lower animals (insects etc.), plants etc. don't have emotions, it just means that we are not sensitive enough to notice.

Any thing which has a nervous system, however primitive it may be can be said to have a mind. Even an ameba reacts to its environment.

Answer 4

Consider the substances; steel, rock, trees, etc., these are each made up of livings molecular structers that can not be seen by the naked eye, yet, they are alive. However, there is not much mind going on there. They do not think, consider, or make choices. The human mind is unique, and designed by the most wonderful of CREATORS, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER YAHWEH!!! FATHER YAYWEH has the most powerful & brilliant of minds that can exist. HE TELLS US FREELY THAT he choose to CREATE US IN HIS IMAGE. Pastor Yisrayl Hawkins teached us that YAHWEY looks in form as we do. HE has feet, hands, arms, justs like us. In the heavens, as well as here on the earth, sin (the transgression of YAHWEHS LAWS) has caused much war & death. We learn of the behavior of many of the angels from the bible, how they followed satan in her rebellion against YAHWEH; the ones who remain loyal to the FATHER we refer to as malakim. You'll note that in the bible when ever these malakim would appear that they would look as we do in appearance. There were no wings on thier backs, swishing forked tails, or pitch forks. They do, however, each have minds to make decisions with. Now, comes mankind. How are we supposed to be different than the malakim, or the angels for that matter? To which of the malakim did FATHER YAHWEH ever say, "Here, sit at MY RIGHT SIDE, YOU ARE MY SON!!!" YAHWEH chose a SON FROM MANKIND!!! And those who will rule with HIM will also come from mankind. However, before we acheive this most wonderful goal, we must be tested. Now, mankind is born with a "carnal mind" that seeks to find the pleasures of life, comfort, lust. We, as the Children of FATHER YAHWEH must put off the carnal mind, and choose rather to follow the simple 613 LAWS OF PEACE that YAHWEHgave us to follow HIM by. The LAWS OF YAHWEH are the 'SPIRIT OF YAHWEH'!!! To be mindful of YAHWEH'S LAWS are to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED!!! This is what developes HOLY SPIRIT within a person. The bible clearly teaches us that the 'carnal mind' is at enmity against the 'LAWS OF YAHWEH' of the 'SPITITUAL MIND'. Man does not want to do what he's told to do. Man wants to do what ever feels 'good' to his flesh. Herein lays the spiritual battle that we all must face in order to show YAHWEH that we do Love HIM through our OBEDIENCE to HIS EVERY WORD (LAW)!!! Lip service will not gain salvation. Simply believing won't get us there. YAHWEH calls those whom HE WILLS, & opens thier minds to these truths. & then offers them the choice to whether the desire LIFE or DEATH!!! LIFE THRU OBEDIENCE!!! DEATH THru CARNALITY!!! There is a man who is capable of teaching the world the TRUTH, who has been called & raised up by YAHWEH HIMSELF, & prepared him for this job, Yisrayl Hawkins, Pastor of THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH!!! Call Abel & ask, 325-670-9494, And that will settle the matter!!!
