Like God, the soul is an immaterial person, an intangible entity, a disembodied mind that only exists in the minds of those who believe in miracles and the supernatural, and, specifically, in mind/body dualism, De Carte’s “ghost in the machine.”
Assuming the “soul” exists purely for the sake of argument, where is it? In the brain, the heart (as De Carte believed), in all of the body: all organs, internal and external, not only the brain and heart but the liver and kidneys, the nose and ears and eyes and genitals, and so forth, in the arms and hands and legs and feet, every molecule, atom, gene,,etc., of the body.? Or does it float, invisibly, a foot or two above the body, above the head when walking or running or sitting or standing or lying down in bed or elsewhere on one’s back or side or stomach?
And how does the soul, a mind with no body, ascend to heaven or descend to hell when is leaves the body or moves away from the body at death and for eternity, to do what exactly, a question I’ll ask in more depth and detail in another post.
A person’s brain is so damaged that he or she has no mind and self-consciousness. Then, when he or she dies, according to Christianity, his or her mind is restored as a “soul” that ascends to heaven or descends to hell for eternity, depending on whether he or she believed that Jesuis was/is the son of God who was born of a virgin and resurrected after his death by crucifixion, to do what exactly, to experience what exactly? Where was this “soul” and mind when his or her brain was so damaged that he or she didn’t have a mind and self-consciousness?
