1 You already answered this . . 1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, [invisible], the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. But gravity is every where - space, can you see it?
2 The spirit is called a soul while it is in this body of inferior flesh.
3. Biblically, "because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." Gen 11.9. Yes, God DID make evolution. . . and we (humans) have evolved differently due to many reasons, but the biggest is that God loves wonderous diversity. note . . . much more than 6k years.
4 Maybe a rat . .. they will eat things most humans wont (excrement).
5. "The crania of two adults and a child, all dated to be around 160,000 years old, were pulled out of sediments near a village called Herto in the Afar region in the east of the country." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2978800.stm
6. Firstly there was no paper! heh. A better answer would be that we treat people differently when they are married (property, insurance etc) and proof is needed by secular/governmental agencies. Marriage is not one of the 10 commandments from God or the 11th from Jesus, though it is expected, respected, and sacred.

1. Because God is spirit and your eyes are flesh, dear. To see him you must use your spiritual sight.
2. I'm not sure. I've heard that soul and mind (mentes in Latin) are the same thing, so I think that spirit is the spiritual aspect of the person while mind is the mental aspect. However, according to original Hebrew ideas of these things, these words were only expressions for the whole self and never meant to raise up any kind fo dicotomy.
3. I don't. I am perfectly at ease with evolution. (here's a hint: I'm not a fundamentalist).
4. I don't know. How is this a "Christian" question?
5. I'd have to look it up, but I'd accept what anthropologists have to say about this.
6. I'm sorry. I'm confused. You think the paperwork is God's commandment? It's not. It's part of the human regulation of the institution meeting the specific needs of time and place.

1) Because He's spirit, that is non-physical.
2) None, they are used fairly interchangeably in the bible.
3) Let me use skin color as an example. Since there is only one pigment, which would be melanin, which is in turn controlled by 2-4 genes, then if Adam and Eve were both medium brown, they could have easily accounted for all the possible skin colors. There are other factors, such as the thickness of skin in Orientals, that contribute to skin color, but they are relatively minor.
4) Can't think of one.
5) Don't know. It didn't come with a tag stating its age on it.
6) Because they didn't have to deal with civil law.

1. God is a spirit. Perhaps you can't "see" Him because you are looking with physical eyes.
2. A "soul" is a body and a spirit. Your "soul" is the essence of all that is "you".
3. Now you are confusing me. Are you saying that all these variants of mankind are different products of "evolution"? I thought they were the result of mankind adapting to the different environments they found themselves in. And your comment about "only 6,000 years" is short sighted. True, some Christians do believe that Creation is only 6,000 years old, but they are a minority. Others agree that it is untold eons old. Me, I think it is as old as it's tongue, and a little older than it's teeth...
4. I'm not sure about this one. I'm gonna hazard a guess...a gorrilla??
5. Here, I'm afraid I have to admit, I do not know.
6. If you believe that Adam and Eve were literal people, then you would have to accept that God married them. His Word IS law. You do realize that the paperwork is only man's law, and no more than a weak echo of God, I'm sure. In our society, the paper is nothing more than the legal cement that binds the much more important spiritual contract. Sadly, in today's world, the legal cement doesn't really count for much, anyway....

These are all burning questions to be sure, but more than one makes me tired. I'll answer no 6. Adam and Eve must not have lived in the twenty-first century, where it is necessary to provide proof of civil unions for such things as taxes, etc. What this has to do with commandments, I have no idea. It's giving me a headache.

1. Nonexistent beings like to hide, except for the easter bunny he just likes to sit in the garden and eat tulips. Maybe this imaginary god doesn't eat tulips.
2. I don't know what those words mean.
3. Man's common ancestry can be traced to an african migration but it was likely at least a hundred thousand years ago.
4. You must not be talking about me, My wife says I am a fussy eater.
5. I don 't know it depends how you define man. Several million years anyway.
6. Adam and eve were a myth. I don't think we should need paperwork, but obviously insurance, social security, taxes, etc depend on married status.

a million) No. seem up "atheist". 2) no longer yet, besides the incontrovertible fact that it is coming, by way of technology. 3) See #2 4) No. Implies life of god. 5) No. i'm evil for different reasons. 6) particular, as I oppose fake concept. 7) No. there is no such element. 8) no better than i prefer to disbelieve in invisible pink unicorns. 9) No. 10) See #8 11) No. i do no longer hate that which does no longer exist. 12) See #4 13) sometimes. 14) No. I settle for accountability for that which I definitely have achieved or stated. i'm ethical by my nature and upbringing. 15) particular. All of existence is incomprehensible. life makes no sense. that doesn't propose we can't take excitement in it. sixteen) No. Being christian is far less annoying. All you ought to do is pass with the bypass and settle for in spite of you're advised without question. Like Reese from "Malcolm interior the middle" whilst he replaced into interior the army. "I in simple terms turn off my strategies"! 17) No. 18) whilst i'm incorrect, I freely admit it. i'm no longer. 19) Who could like THAT activity? 20) No. it is god who isn't common by me, as a results of fact if he does exist, and the bible is authentic, he's one evil S.O.B. 21) No. i've got self belief a yearning for an sensible, appealing, healthful, diminutive, small-busted, pink-headed, freckled, sane, ATHEIST woman of my species. 22) particular. i'm no longer malicious, plenty easier, by no ability depraved(no longer the comparable element as evil), much greater sensible, type, empathic, and so on. than the common christian. 23) My stance on faith is that it is a scam perpetrated by the unscrupulous on the unsuspecting, and that religious anybody is interestingly no longer interior the habit of thinking issues with the aid of. it is religious concept (see #6) AND the habit of religious people who bothers me. Their insistence that their puny human brains are able to understanding the strategies of an almighty author of the universe strikes me as a results of fact the peak of arrogance, and could actually be offensive to god if there definitely is one. 24) That artwork for you?

If seeing is believing,the one what basis do we establish our belief in the exsitence of molecules and atoms? Although we can't see them this fact does not preclude the fact that do exsist. What we do have is evidence of their exsistence. In principle, God has also provided us with evidence of His exsistence through the Bible, in nature,and most of all through His Son Jesus Christ.
19The woman said to Him, Sir, I see and understand that You are a prophet.
20Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain, but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary and proper to worship.
21Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither [merely] in this mountain nor [merely] in Jerusalem.
22You [Samaritans] do not know what you are worshiping [you worship what you do not comprehend]. We do know what we are worshiping [we worship what we have knowledge of and understand], for [after all] salvation comes from [among] the Jews.
23A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers.
24God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality).
25The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, He Who is called the Christ (the Anointed One); and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us.
26Jesus said to her, I Who now speak with you am He.
TheGospel of John chapter 4 verses 19-26
Jesus defined God as a spirtual being. Obviously,we cannot see spiritual enteties,but this does not mean that they do not exsist.
We can't see the wind for that matter but we do have ample evidence of its exsistence. As I've stated before, God has also provided evidence of His exsistence.

There is no difference between soul and spirit.
Spirit is mostly considered as one's strong feeling.
While soul is considered as the existance after death.
