for one, to get this off my chest, i have very good reasons of being a christian, do not say things of which you do not understand. you don't understand my religion, you probably never will, i see it much differently than you obviously, and it really is none of your bussiness of what religion i live by, i'll that at that. even though someone, or mules, can not reprodude, their cells do. i think, what is it, like ever 15 years al of the cells in your body have replaced themselves with new cells. not all at once of corse, but over that 15 year period. does a watch have any type of living celliar structure at all, other than atoms? no. and besides, atoms reside in living an non-living things, but cells only reside in living things. all living things contain cells. your watch, you battery, your computer, none of those have cells, so they are not living. they may have electrical pulsed, but without a cell, which hold the rna and the dna that control your body's functions and creations of itself, there is no possible way for it to live. now if you found a way to build a watch on a living person and doing all that kinda stuff, yea, wow, good job, but if hat person went out and had a kid, I'm sure the watch wouldn't be born with him/her. convincing evidence? you missed my point entirely. one thing, just one thing, changes in teh laws of physics and then everything you know could be turned upside down and proven to be wrong, when just a litle while ago it was "proven" corresct. you see, everyone once thought that Earth was flat, but a couple centuries later new laws in physics and new abilities to observe clearer showed that it was round. even today, no matter how much you think your answers are correct, or how much "evidence" you have for them, you msut always remember the possibility that you could very well be wrong. it's a 50/50 chance your taking. of course you're going to take the good 50, but you can't ignore the bad 50, right? and most people don't like to demonstrate their powers because of the press and then people trying to call them witches and stuff...oh, by the way, did you know that in some states it is still okay, under the law, to burn someon at the stake for being a witch? the only reason that guy let me see what he could do was because i was into the exact same stuff, then i got out of it. but i did see him levetate a house. now, as i said before, he ma have really levetated that house, but there is still that 50% chance that another new law of physics somewhere down the line says he didn't no matter what proof i have. you see what i mean here? as i said before, the spirit is what contains the personality and actually does all of the thinking, not the brain, but the brain, in the physical world, is where this personality would be. so if you die, your brain is still there, but is not active, so without the spirit, you have no way of letting your surrounding control what you do. of course, many people, in fact most people, lock themselves in on the fact that they don't have a spirit. oh well, their loss, but i won't force anyone to believe what they don't want. i can't, it's always our decisions to believe or not to belive. no one can control anyone else's self will, they can persuade them, put a gun to their head, or just look em in the eyes, but that never mean you absolutely have to do it, and you can always get away from a gun to your head, well, for the love of god, i hope you can.
