WHY DO PEOPLE STILL DENY HUMANS ARE ANIMALS...?

[Truth200]

It is difficult to explain...

I would suggest that you all try to learn new skills...and over time work on mastering those skills.

the human part of you will fail to master most, if not all of the skills you will attempt. but then, eventually, something else might kick in and start helping you to see that you are more than chunks of meat. You will see that there are other parts of you.

What does learning new skills have to do with the question i ask you or this thread?

(1) I am not assuming that we are just physical beings...It is a fact...On macroscopic level, we know with a high degree of confidence how electron, protons and neutrons behave...

We know the forces that dictate the behavior of atoms on an "everyday life" level...

(2) The evidence is as concrete as it gets...The only thing that exist is the physical human being...Even the human "mind" is not a mystic...It is the physical activity of the brain...

Life on Earth comes down to a series of chemical reactions and mixtures...

(3) As neuroscience keeps developing, we will know even more about the brain...And even more superstition will be proven wrong...This the trend I am basing my projections on...

When humans don't understand, they create a mystic, then a scientist comes along and explains the phenomenon, and we move on to the next mystic...

(4) I have worked with people suffering from mental illnesses and Alzheimers/Dementia...When you lose enough neurons and/or your neurons stop functioning properly, you get 'demonic possession'...

If you see a psychotic patient, then it is not hard to imagine why people 2000 years ago will use demonic possession to explain the erratic behaviors...

I have seen an old lady become catatonic, and then the same lady after a few sessions of electro-convulsive therapy...The change is a MIRACLE...

Just more evidence that there are no souls/spirits...You have a mind which is a function of the brain...Thus, it is PHYSICAL...

What powers the physical activity of the brain?

What leaves when the brain and subsequently the rest of the physical body ceases to function?

Even removing the religious/spiritual aspect from it there is an unseen energy powering the brain and the body. Labeling it electrical impulses or electricity doesn't make it any less amazing that an unseen energy powers the human brain/body.

Are we the body or the energy?

Is this a troll thread?

 

[Truth200]

there is an unseen energy powering the brain and the body.

Elaborate on this please.

A human can't know everything...so one of his links to a higher power or knowledge is through complete mastery of one thing.

Any examples?

 

[Skeptic]

Because God told us we're special.

 

[Lifer11]

Elaborate on this please.

Scientists call it electricity, a spiritual or religious person would call it spirit or the soul, either way it's an unseen energy powering the physical body. Just because scientists named this energy doesn't mean it can't still have spiritual implications.

And if it does have spiritual implications that doesn't cancel out humans just being animals.

Explain with more detail please.

Explain with more detail please.

My belief is that everything in the physical world is just an extension of the same source; a spiritual entity or energy that manifests in the physical world in infinite ways/incarnations.

As for the questions I asked, I'm not pretending to have the answers, but I'd say they're relevant questions to be asked, and in turn answered, in order for your beliefs to be taken as scientific fact.

What caused you to believe this?

What caused you to believe this?

Intuition at first, later validated by quantum physics.

What caused you to believe this?

Also this belief doesn't have to be at odds with humans being animals. It just implies that every living thing has what could be called a "divine" energy.

Elaborate more on the quantum physics that validated this for you please.
