Not a whole lot.
P.S. Time for break (to warm up some Quiche and watch the news).. And I predict that you will not be back to actually discuss the concept of the soul. I've been frequenting this forum for a number of years, and not once has a theist been willing to discuss it in detail.

Complexity, I believe the invention of a soul is born of self importance and the fear of being finite (a result of our animal survival instinct). I see the entire web of life as my extended family and can function perfectly well without a supernatural being.

I notice you have gone quiet on the definition of evolution since I explained it. Do you accept my explanation or do you plan to continue using your own nonstandard definition so as to allow yourself to continue to call everyone you don't like an evilutionist?

twhitehead, born a human being with the rational capacity to learn chess
and come to a Saving Knowledge of the Risen Christ
who Died a Substitutionary Spiritual Death for twhitehead
as much so as for russ and chris, rjh and gb [period]

What you overlook is that OdBod and twhitehead think like those animals still. A Substitutionary Spiritual Death means nothing to them. They would rather fight the pigs for the hog slop.

RJ, you're presuming to mess around with choices that are their sole prerogative to make. God Almighty Respects the Volition of OdBod and twhitehead (as well as the freedom to choose of every person that's ever lived). How can any of us do less? As in the Army, Mission First. Failure's Not an Option. Their degrees of knowledge and/or ignornance = none of my biz or yours. If they "would rather fight the pigs for the hog slop", simply watch or walk away. We're here to shed light, not to ridicule or judge.

Perhaps you are the one here to shed light. Who knows what I am here for?
