Position:Home>Philosophy> Is there evidence for spirit?Question: Is there evidence for spirit!? I really want to know what a human being is!. Are we just biology and a brain , or do we have spirit!? If anyone thinks we are just biology, I would love to chat about it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: there is no evidence for spirit coz it's operating in a different realm than scienceWww@QuestionHome@Com I think there is evidence for at least a higher power!. First, there is a certain part of evolutionary theory that doesn't make sense!. If all organisms need to be replicated, how was the first one made!. Even if basic DNA was coincidentally made, it would still need a way to replicate, which DNA in and of itself doe not have the ability to do!. Second, Everything that happens in our physical world needs some sort of trigger!. It's in the laws of physics!. What about when the chain of triggers gets to the beginning of time, it still needs a trigger!. Isnt it more likely that a different world interfered, the spirit world, in which all laws of physics do not exist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Both!. "Spirit" is by definition the parts of experience that do not appear in the manner of "evidence!." Spirit is what is not materially evident, or "real!." That's why religious belief is faith, not reason!. If you are strictly rational, all things can be explained as brain and biology!. But that does not mean that our "spiritual" experiences do not "exist" in a non-material way!. The problem is just that people get hung up on the idea of "existence!." They figure that if something "is," there has to be "evidence" that it is "out there" otherwise it is less "real!." Evident reality is preferred when we communicate, because it's useful and can be referred to, while other experience is private and ineffable - and therefore basically nonsensical and irrelevant to anything that is between people (outside our selves)!. Really though, all we *know* is only our direct present experience, so once you're deciding what you believe about nature, *privileging* reason and empirical evidence can be nonsensical !.Www@QuestionHome@Com Spirit refers to a third body we might have!. We are born with a body composed of cells!. There are certain things we could do (very difficult psychological things) whereby we could create a second body, of a molecular nature!. A soul!. We're not born with one, we must create it!. After we have a soul, there are other things we might do to create a body of an electronic nature!. A body of light!. A SPIRIT!. Very, very few people can do this!. The committment is almost unimaginable!. Committment, knowlege of how to do it and the EFFORTS required!.Www@QuestionHome@Com think of your spirit as your conscience!.!.!.!.we're complex individuals!.!.!.some believe in a Higher Power!.!.!.some believe that we were created by a more Intelligent "being" in space somewhere!.!.!.and some believe that an organizim evolved into what we are today!.!.!.it's all a matter of perspective!.!.!.you have to find your own way through maturity and experience!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com No, there is no evidence for spirit!. Just as there is no evidence for any other supernatural concepts!. We are just biology!. The hypothesis of mind-body separation is false, in my opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It is just like cigarette and its smoke!. After the cigarette is smoked, where is the evidence of smoke!.Www@QuestionHome@Com just biology, no evidence for spirit at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Nope---gotta have the spirit!.
