The Mind is Immaterial, Spirit exists

"1. We don't have free will." Prove it. 2, I'm going to will that I press the letter G, G, therefore Free Will exists. "But the whole conscious thing and all of that," Consciousness is free will, if one is conscious they can observe, making an observation and what you think of it(what's going on, where am I? etc) is a matter of will, free will. "we have genes and a central powerhouse designing all movement (the brain)" The brain is a piece of meat that is controlled, the brain is matter, matter is Mindless, therefore you are arguing that everyone one does is based on random fluctuations of atoms/matter, which would make one eplielptic. I have control and can do as I please and preplan it as I have free will, therefore genes and the brain are not the will. "in which inanimate objects do not have. If you study evolution you can find that we are merely survival machines for genes." Rape would be advantageous to the species under "macro-evolution", as it would advance the species and cause the most procreation, If we are merely survival machines for genes, then Rape would not only be ok and not immoral, but Moral. Rape in Reality is Immoral no matter what, therefore "macro-evolution" is Scientifically False and we are not "merely survival machines for genes" "2. Have you studied biology? Not every cell in the body dies and regenerates, this process is known as mitosis. Not every cell dies and "regenerates" in the body." http://biology.about.com... ""Think of an experience from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all you really were there at the time, weren"t you? How else could you remember it? But here is the bombshell: you weren"t there. Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place .... Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made. If that does not make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, read it again until it does, because it is important." - "atheist" richard dawkins. "There is no regeneration involved. What happens is a cell goes through mitosis, make an identical copy of itself, goes through apoptosis and so on and so forth." "Identical copy" is basically another cell, I ask you, if I have a boat and replaced it with different and new identical parts, is it the same boat? No. "There are specialized cells in your body that do not die, blood cells, muscle cells, neurons. " Neurons - http://www.princeton.edu... "So we can conclude that A) your body is not made of completely new material every 7 years, it's made of new material that is identical to the previous material" Identical matter... is still new matter, people have the same type of parts I have, for example most humans have a hand, is your hand my hand because they are Identical? No, likewise identical cells, are still different cells. "3. Color is not material? I know no respected scientists would ever teach this, so I can only conclude you are making this up. Color is visible light. Light is made of electromagnetic waves and photons, all of which are in fact, material. That is physics." Light causes us to SEE color, for example, when someone is blind what do they see? Black. that's all they see, is black physical? No so even when someone is blind they can "see" refuting the claim of Also no color is not material, you cannot smell, hear, taste, or feel it, what one sees as blue another can see as green, it therefore isn't an objective in the physical world. "4. There is not much known scientifically about thoughts, however thoughts being immaterial theory begins to break down at the slightest use of logic. How can a completely immaterial thing interact with a completely material object in the exact same context as physical reality? or Why does a completely immaterial thing confide solely in a completely material skull?" The question is illogical, we do not know nor does it matter How it works, all we need to know is that it does work, since Thoughts are not Material, the argument is refuted. Thoughts are Immaterial. "5. Study the brain. The Brain is not quantum mindless matter, it a complex system of memories in which visual and auditory cues set of memories in which we recognize a person through the memories. Study neuroscience." Yes it is, Quantum Physics is a Fact, every cell is individual, I ask you where is The Memory if memories are based on physical cells? "6. the language side of your brain, in we have learned to read and interpret the structures of letters formed into words and grammatically placed together in which we imply a meaning behind every word therefore we put the words together and get the information." The brain interprets things? How does mindless matter know anything? "7. First off, do not say "scientifically and factually" without having your hypothesis and theory being tested and peer reviewed, I already disproved your argument implying this statement is true. " Where? don't see it. " I can feel my hand because the neurons sense I'm touching my hand and sends the information to my brain through other neurons. You are your hand, because your hand is part of your body connected to your brain." Your brain is NOT your hand, HOW do you feel your hand? someone can easily cut your hand and all the nerves in them off, your nerves aren't one thing, they are quantum particles. Argument refuted, if we were our brains we'd be multi-personal(as a brain is made up of millions of cells) and we wouldn't be able to feel anything other than our brains and the matter surrounding it. "I like how you jump from deism to theism immediately. 1. Jesus is not historical, most people accept a prophet named Jesus lived, but it is not historical because there is not historical evidence. History uses evidence too, much to your disliking." Lie, Josephus(Verified Authentic) Tacitus (Verified Authentic) Pliny the Younger(Verified Authentic) Talmud Gaius Suetonius Tranquillas All prove Jesus Christ existed and was crucified, and that's History. Another proof is that Gospels are all before 70AD which means it was during the time of The Apostles and near Jesus Christ crucifixion. Also Matthew 28:11-17 - 11 Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said, "You are to say, "His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep." 14 And if this should come to the governor"s ears, we will win him over and [a]keep you out of trouble." 15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day. That was written as Rebuttal to the "stolen tomb" myth, there is no other reason for this to be written other than Matthew Refuting The Jews claim of a "stolen tomb", Christians said Resurrection, Jews said "stolen", no one denied The Empty Tomb, therefore it's a Fact, Women also found the tomb which by Criteria of Embarrassment makes it Authentic and Fact, since Empty Tomb is a Fact the Crucifixion is a Fact, we now have 2 Historical Facts. "2. Many people were crucified, how does a crucifixion automatically lead to resurrection? The resurrection is BEYOND a fact." Before I answer that, you do agree with The Majority of Scholars that Jesus Christ was crucified right? "You haven't used a SINGLE shred of proof and yet you're requesting your opponent to use proof?" I haven't used a single shred of proof? Demonstrate this.
