I've watched every single one of Bob's videos and sadly I have to say no one really knows anything and we're just infantile minds trying to make sense of everything. But it is entertaining to watch nonetheless.
The first professor’s assertion leaves much to be desired.
Robert, I generally like and admire these video essays, but this one frustrates me, because you skipped over the tough questions -- questions I believe you are as likely to harbor as I am. To name a few: if there’s an immortal soul, what is it like before a person’s born? Is it simply a blank sheet? An outline? How is that a meaningful entity? At the other end of life, how does life-experience stamp a person’s immortal soul? Is it the sum of all life experiences? Is it what you are when you die? If the former, how does the soul of a brutal murderer in early life who becomes a saintlike penitent in later life sum up? If the latter, how does an Alzheimer’s patient, who dies in an infantile state, having lost a lifetime of memories, spend eternity? Questions like these, seriously considered, lead to the conclusion that “the soul” is an empty, incoherent concept.
We don’t just have a Soul, We Are Souls.
*Great subject and Closer to Truth is an excellent channel.*
Thank you for these videos. They are fascinating.
its just crazy that how everything just seems to work its amazing and strange, the fact we can even think of these things
That Porsche got soul😎
They are embodied spirits when alive, and souls when the body dies.
Thank you Robert, your work is very thoughful educational!
