What if science proved âyouâ personally didnât exist? Would you still question your existance? And what if a man, in the middle of a forest, with no woman around to hear, made a statement; would he still be wrong? My wife of course insists, yes he would be wrong, simply on probability.
Reminds me of Chesterton saying that he would find it beautiful if the reason why the universe follows orderly laws is because God is like a child that keeps clapping his hands and saying âAGAIN!â I doubt that is actually good theology (God causing people to fall on jagged rocks mostly because heâs still fascinated by the idea of falling is a bit much), but its definately a neat image.Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Can I use this oppritunity to quote my favorite fictional Catholic? Please?
âScience tells us how, it doesnât tell us why.â - Agent Scully
I think that just about says it all.
No, not like that. Pluto is still very real, and everything we learned about Pluto over that century is still true. Itâs just a matter of terminology. Astronomers simply decided that Pluto could be better described as dwarf planet.âWhat if science proved the âsoulâ was nothing but brain waves?â
You mean, the same way that science proved that our solar system had nine planets? Then a century later decided there are only eight?
According to the Catechism, paragraph 363, âsoulâ signifies the spiritual principle in man. And in 364, âhuman bodyâŚis animated by a spiritual soulâ. In my mind, the soul is what makes one âaliveâ. The difference between human souls and plant and animal souls, is that the human soul is immortal, and will live on even after separated from the body.
