If humans are all about flesh you could be correct.. but if humans are all about the spirit you could be quite wrong.. Some believe that the flesh is just a "space suit" for the human spirit.. Even if the flesh don't work too good.. the spirit may be fully operable and intact..
Could be that being human in the flesh is a test for the human spirit..
Better not to flunk reality..
Define “spirit.”
Last night there was a truck add on the football game show that featured three guys trying to pick a "winning" tool case from among nine. There were, of course, no clues or anything about the contest that would reward effort, knowledge or intelligence. Just luck.
Looks to me like a metaphor for religion. Those born at the right place and time get the right beliefs and get eternal life.
Effort to understand the world and how it works counts for nothing. Even more interesting, simply striving to do good works doesn't count.
The only thing that counts is being born into the right tribe and learning to recite the correct incantations.
One slight problem:
If someone took a human zygote, and artificially cleaved it into two, and implanted both back into a woman's womb, resulting in the birth of a pair of identical twins, through artificial intervention, does it mean that the human intervention led to one soul turning into two? Does that imply that man directly played God, and was the causal effect that led to the formation of the second soul?
Perhaps what we call spirit or soul, is just the conscious awareness that does not last beyond death- like deep sleep or coma- no awareness of time or space, forever. A thousand years wouldn't seem longer than a fraction of a second.
