Spiritual Physicallity


~Looking for my sprit and soul~


Mechanical things are easy to prove as real. We know that grass is real because we can touch it. Try and follow this line of logic for a second and you might understand why some people find it hard to believe in God: The mouth of a human chews food by moving up and down. That mechanical motion is caused by a mixing of two chemicals that heat the muscle fibers causing the muscle to expand or contract. All of these things are real and all of these things are physical things. How is the chemical released? Our body must just know. Our thoughts couldn't be a physical thing without spirit can they? Well the chemical is released by an electric impulse (shock) sent from the brain. The Brain sent the impulse as a physical reaction to impulse the tongue sent that the food had reached the mouth. Food touches tongue. Tongue reacts with electric shock to brain. Brain shoots back the shock to release the chemicals in the jaw. The jaw reacts to heat. All physical tangible reasons without any sort of spirit or higher power involved. Taking it a step further, Sadness is actually block on the chemicals in you brain that make you feel happy. These chemicals are a tangible liquid inside you. Certain medicines even claim to be able to release these blocks of happy chemicals to allow happiness in your life. Happiness and sadness are tangible things in your body. Assuming that tangible things are just objects without any sort of higher power needed to make them work. Emotions are tangible things inside you. Does that make your thoughts a tangible thing as well. I close my eyes and think of Kristin. I gain a clear mental image of her face. My brain recalls my memory of her to create an image. A series of electric positive and negative charges blend together to be read as an image (just like a computer that has no spirit or soul). Thoughts are a physical thing: They are a series of electric charges. If thoughts and ideas are all physical things then where is the spirit where is the soul? Are we just what we are programmed to be?

With logic like that I can understand how people find it hard to see God. They want to see physical proof. Tangible evidence. Where is the physical evidence that God exists? They say it is only a matter of perspective to consider the earth and everything in it physical evidence. You would have to already believe in God to believe that the earth is evidence of His existance because you would need to believe that he created. All of these things lead me to sayingthat it must be difficult to believe in God. People say "I don't even feel Him emotionally." No physical imprint and no emotional impact on a person means that to them (that is from their perspective) God does not exist.

What I can't understand is someone could believe that all of those wonderful physical reactions that allow us to chew and digest food or that allow us to create mental images of people or ideas about politics or quantum physics, could possibly be be a worldly creation. Nature who has no will or thought created Humans and monkeys and llama's by chance. It just so happened that all of the right matter collided together adapted over time into the creature that inhabit the earth today. If there were no humans to have baby's then how did a baby apear out of something besides a mother? Why don't we have babies appearing out of organic soup that just so happened by luck of nature (who has no spirit or soul) to create human life? How come when I put food in my mouth I have the choice whether to chew or not? Is it really just a physical series of reactions or is it more? Think about it. . .

Coming Soon


So to the right of this entry there is a link to my pictures page (called "My Photo Lab"). Check it out if you haven't already. Most importantly stay tuned for pictures from my trip to Colorado taken with my new camera. (this camera i got because I dunked Kristin in to the water with my other one)


Above is the pic of the new camera. It is a Canon Rebel XTi.
