Do you believe you have a soul ? [Spirituality & Religion]

@BlueVeins so...you are the same as a rock or vegetable ?

@revenant In what way? I'm the same as the bed I'm lying on in that we both are made of matter and energy. But unlike a rock or vegetable, I have the ability to think, experience, and do things.

@BlueVeins why or where do you think those talents come from ?

@revenant Well, from my biology. Our DNA is programmed to build sentient organisms, whereas the vegetable's DNA programs it to build a non-sentient plant. It's like this because sentience is a survival advantage in humans as mobile animals that must think and work in order to survive, but sentience is not a survival advantage for a plant that stays in one place and makes its food from sunlight.

@BlueVeins what happens when you die you think ?

@revenant The same thing that happens to your computer programs when your computer is destroyed. It's all gone; the medium on which it was all written no longer exists.

@BlueVeins I have a hard time believing so but to each their own !
