• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The soul is real and not in the brain

Some children have a disease, which causes the brain to eventually grow out later. But before that, you still see that they have a soul, smile, talk a little, etc. The soul sits in the brain-stem, which is not part of the brain, but more like a muscle. I added a picture:

I can't speak for souls, but those children do have brains. It's either significantly reduced or compressed by the pressure of liquid in their head.

Didn't someone on this site already do something like this? Just with people not having brains (somehow) but still being able to do regular stuff and thus that counts as evidence for the soul? It feels familiar.

There are ineeed many such cases. eg a celebrated case of a guy with a maths degree who was scanned because of limb weakness, and they discovered his skull was almost all water , a brain less than a quarter of the regular size.

There is too much evidence that the brain only filters or acts on consciousness it is not the source of it.
The evidence goes all the way back to the first neurosurgeons even.
