The Human spirit

[Doveaman]

What you fail to comprehend (and I can understand why) is that there is a human spirit within your human mind that works in and through your human brain giving you the ability to intelligently comprehend the things in your human experience, things which can be observed and tested scientifically.

“It is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding...For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?...The body without the spirit is dead.” (Job 32:8, 1 Cor 2:11, James 2:26).

What this means is that any intelligent ability to comprehend scientific evidence is achieved through the intelligent human spirit working in and through the human brain.

This may explain why scientists are so stressed out trying to figure out how the human brain/mind works since spirits are not allowed within the scientific community. Scientists would rather remain ignorant than to make allowance for spirits. This also explains why God is treated with such disregard by many within the scientific community.

Now, just as the human spirit within our minds gives us the intelligent ability to comprehend scientific evidence, even so God Spirit given to some humans gives them the intelligent ability to comprehend divine evidence for God and the things of God.

“As it is written: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him’— but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” (1 Cor 2:9-10).

Those who only have the human spirit and not the Spirit of God can only comprehend scientific evidence but cannot comprehend divine evidence for the things of God as recorded in Scripture.

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God...The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor 2:11-14).

Based on this evidence found in Scripture on the human spirit I propose a Theo-scientific theory explaining theological facts and scientific facts in a unified way.

The theology:

“It is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding...For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?” (Job 32:8, 1 Cor 2:11).

The science:

The electrical firing patterns in the neurons can be triggered by EM fields in the brain to generate thoughts and ideas in the human mind.

The theology tells us that there is a human spirit within us which gives us understanding. The understanding of human beings stems from their intelligence. Therefore, it can be said that the human spirit is the intelligent source for human understanding.

The science tells us that human thoughts are generated by electrical firing patterns in the neurons which can be triggered by EM fields in the brain.

It may be that the intelligent spirit within the human mind is capable of manipulating the EM fields in the human brain to trigger specific electrical firing patterns in the neurons so as to generate intelligent thoughts and ideas in the human mind.

If this is the case, this may explain how God, who is also Spirit, may interact with the human mind in a positive way via the EM fields in the brain to trigger specific firing patterns in the neurons.

This may also explain how demons, who are also spirits, may influence the human mind in a negative way via the EM fields in the brain.

Someone take his soapbox away, please.

Guys I think I can summarize,

"Don't listen to god-hating scientists. Turn off your brain and be free!"

This may explain why scientists are so stressed out trying to figure out how the human brain/mind works since spirits are not allowed within the scientific community.

Spirits would be allowed if they were measurable and testable. Since there is no indication in biology (that I've ever heard of), the dependencies you mention (spirit is required as a go-between for the brain) cannot be considered in scientific research. It's not a big conspiracy.

So how do the spirits found in the White Russians Ive been drinking for the last few hours have an effect on my supernatural spirit?

Measurable spirits:

 

[SithDoughnut]

What kind of spirit are we talking about? Vodka? Whisky?

 

[Cute Tink]

On that note, it is time for scientific research: effects of spirits on the brain.

[TerranceL]

So you want us to believe in something that you can't show any evidence for?

Um.


No.

 

[Hespera]

hear that flushing sound? its where this thread went

 

[Jro]

P-p-p-p-p-p-p-prooooove it.

 

[Hespera]

P-p-p-p-p-p-p-prooooove it.

dont make me post a picture

 

[Cabal]

Empirical evidence for spirits please, before we continue.

In the mean time, back to real science....

That's what I said.

If I am correct, as Scripture suggests I am, and science is restricted to only what is physically measurable and testable then science will never be capable of understanding how the human mind works, no matter how hard they try, because they have boxed themselves in.

It's funny how "boxing yourself in" has shown far greater progress in explaining the mind (and indeed, most other things) than appealing to vague bible verses.

How about the sixth sense? At least you can do experiment on it. Would a repeated successful test on one person show its existence? Or you will exclude that as an exception? If so, how many samples do you need?

 

[Doveaman]

So you want us to believe in something that you can't show any evidence for?

My intent is not for you to believe me. My intent is to give you a reason why I don't believe you. My evidence contradicts your facts.

Interesting. So, if we do understand how the mind works, then that disproves your hypotheses that a) spirits are unscientific, or b) the mind is made of spirits. Right?

Oh, wait, that eventuality proves that spirits are scientific. Isn't science fun

 

[Doveaman]

P-p-p-p-p-p-p-prooooove it.

It is written, therefore it is true.

Besides, it offers a far better explanation for human intelligence than what science can come up with.
