Is there scientific evidence that the soul exists?

  • Thread starter Thread starter New Editor

I dont think a soul can be proven through typical science, for typical science to prove something it basically has to be physical. Sure there's neurological science but they dont get the funding and grants to really research this type of stuff. The mind is the greatest strength and weakness to a person they need to go into it more than the government does. Personally i think the soul is just a matter of the minds imaginative workings. Near death expieriences to me is the mind going haywire because your on the brink and thus projects images your normally wouldnt get without some mind altering substance (LSD). People often think of God after death when the mind feels near death and so it projects the image of it. Those who dont believe at all in a god have a different type of near death expierience in which they see themselves only and no godly character at all, they see themselves or their soul only.

but if they were to find evidence that a soul exist, do you think that would validate religion?

the soul could be nothing more than the mind

There'd be some hot debate between the religions if it were proven.

Very well could be, I certainly don't know.

How would it validate religion? It would lead to a stronger debate that a god does infact exist but for a god to exist there doesnt need to be a religion connected to it.

well youd have to admit, maybe not the retarded religions out now, but the very origin of the things that spawn from religion could be validated

To me the only thing it would validate, is that the oldest known writings or stories of God would be likely the only right ones. If a soul did exist as some super natural force, any religion who says god cant be seen would be wrong IMO, cause you could use your soul would allow you to travel to heavens or hells and im sure i would have figured out how to use my soul like that by now. But as far as the modern religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism, would be wrong because God could be seen and heaven can be reached without death. And the people who believe religions where light skinned people arent Gods sons would also be wrong because they would also have a soul.

I've spoken to many people who've "died and came back". One guy in particular died, in the hospital because he was involved in a car accident. He doesn't remember anything that happened from the accident. He said his doctors said he was out cold on arrival, anyway, when he "died" he said he went to Heaven and he seen Jesus there in Heaven with his dad. He said Jesus spoke in his fathers ear and then both looked at him and Jesus told him it wasn't his time and sent him back to his body. He woke up a few days later.

I dunno, it's like strange to hear that but I know he could've made it up but then it's like what if he didn't?

Alot of people are Christian and believe that when they die they go to heaven, even if he wasnt a devout christian but semi believe in the Jesus and God thing its a product of his mind. He believes death brings you to them, when he is close to death, his brain sends images of what he believes, once his brain is off that brink of death and back to normal functions it begins to act normal again. Like I said earlier I seen this thing on discovery and out of all the people who said they saw God when they had a near death expierience all were Christian, Islamic, or were neither but still feared there might be. Nobody who didnt believe in a god and had a near death expierience didnt have god in theirs at all. I believe it was like 30 people who had the god thing and were christian and 20 somethin that werent believer and had an expierience without god. Those results proved to me that is was merely a product of the mind and its imagery.

I've heard all about the "white light" experience and it was explained, the last thing you see IS a light and something to the effect of that light is brighter while dying or something I dunno, I forgot.

I see what you're saying but like I said, dude was out cold, he has no control over his brain so how can he THINK of God before he dies?

Assuming that the guy did see Jesus, is it because he really believed Jesus exist. Let's say back in ancient times, a guy who really believed in the Egyptian gods claimed to see Anubis or something. Is it just because of how his mind was conditioned? I'm trying to compare it to dreaming. You can't control what you see in your dreams, however, your dreams usually consist of things from your memories/thoughts. Are there any accounts of people of other faiths seeing their deity or maybe seeing a character from another faith? Like a Christian guy having an "after-death" experience and seeing Vishnu?

Anyway, I don't think there is a soul. I think there is only the brain doing its work. No brain=nothingness. I see the time after death being the same as before birth.

it depends, there are two ways i can think of off of the top of my head. 1) the inner workings of the subconscious produced a series of visions that are basically dreams involving REM or 2) he reached his subconscious and awoke some kind of spirit deity inside of all of us that takes whatever form we need at the time. it doesnt have to be God and Jesus per se. perhaps his subconscious was reminding him that faith in anything helps you through life

also, i have faced death quite a few times, and none of those times have i had contact with any gods. the closest thing ive had to god talking to me was a time i was lost in the woods all night. i saw some light and i thought it was some sort of deity leading me out. but following the light was the only logical way to find my way out anyway. the sun doesnt cut through trees, so where the light shines, there arent trees. the more light the less trees. and so i found my way out.
