shadeyinka: The Soul/Spirit isn't localized. The reason is because, 1. they can exist independently outside the body 2. no scientist is sure of the point(s) of interface with the human body. A wild guess is that they have strong interaction with the nervous system. 1a. Can it be detected outside the body? 1b. Can I detect an interlocutor's soul while speaking to them face to face? 2. Which branch of science is concerned with the study of the soul? How would the hypothetical interaction occur? |

shadeyinka: A Soul/Spirit is just the equivalent (but advanced form) of our computer software. The only difference is that the physical Computer Software need a physical interface to exist whereas the Soul/Spirit doesn't need a physical hardware to exist. Of course both (the software and soul/spirit) need to act on the physical hardware for the hardware to have a form of intelligent activity. Please complete the following sentence: A software powers the hardware and is located in/on the HDD while a soul powers the physical and is located....... |

What's funny, is that given the context, you havent created from scratch, an animal like a pygmy marmoset, the smallest monkey in the world, you havent paid any dues and so havent earned the right to engage anyone with your determined inquisition.
The succinct description given of your bestial behaviour and the level of descent your moral degeneracy slid down to betrayed the darkened state of your soul. You’re severely mistaken. I have no soul! |

BassReeves: If you didnt feel offended, you wouldnt have made mention of insult, because I never insulted you anyway
You knew what you are doing calling the Godhead a Supernatural Ape so dont play the 'triggered your emotions' card here
You calling the Godhead the Supernatural Ape was said out of ignorance and not really an intentional insult
Enjoy yourself as you roll about and lie in your ignorance of mud
I am sophisticated enough not to worship a half man half monkey Lower than an animal is quite an insult but it’s also funny given the context. The Supernatural Ape is an apt description judging by the deeds of the Godhead. You know how an ornery ape could rip your face off if angered? The Godhead is similar with all the smiting, killing, drowning etc. It’s like King Kong throwing a fit. Except it’s a super sized King Kong that can hold the earth in his palm. You’re sophisticated enough not to worship a half man half monkey but not quite sophisticated enough to disbelieve that the Supernatural Ape roamed around the desert with one particular group for 40 years. |

BassReeves: C'mon grow a thick skin. I merely paid you back with your coin. What do you think it is, when you drew the first blood, with you calling the Godhead a 'Supernatural Ape', hmm? Didnt you considered that speaking about the Godhead in that your lacking good manners, refinement and grace description is disrespectful and scornful?
The men of Athens, even in their paganism and ignorance recognised that there is 'AN UNKNOWN GOD' but the Indians are worse off in that with their idolatry, they are worshipping a half man half monkey Who told you I’m offended? I said I see why you insult me. The apelike characteristics of the Godhead must have triggered your emotions. I do find it interesting that you take the Supernatural Ape as an insult. I followed your reasoning. Man has similarities with Apes, Man was made in the image of God. Therefore, God has apelike features and the Godhead is a Super natural Ape. Judging by the way you responded to Supernatural Ape, It seems you are the Godhead I drew first blood from. I was just wondering about your beef with the Indians. Now I see you’re not sophisticated enough to understand the Indian mysteries and cosmogony. |

BassReeves: Acts 17:22-31 '22Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things. 23For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you. 24The God who made the world and all things in it, He, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn't dwell in temples made with hands, 25neither is He served by men's hands, as though He needed anything, seeing He himself gives to all life and breath, and all things. 26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28'For in Him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.' 29Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man. 30The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent, 31because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; of which He has given assurance to all men, in that He has raised Him from the dead."'
God has nothing physically similar with apes and you for that your 'the Godhead is a Supernatural Ape' blasphemy have increasingly descended more to a level, lesser than that of an animal and you also with it, proved that you're just as ignorant as the Indians I see why you insult me but what did the Indians do to you?!!!! |

BassReeves: Matthew 13:12 'For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God’s word], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God’s word], even what he has will be taken away from him.'
Luke 8:18 'So be careful how you listen; for whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have [a longing for truth], even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”'
1 Kings 22:19-23 '19Then Micaiah continued, “Listen to what the LORD says! I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him, on his right and on his left. 20And the LORD said, ‘Who can entice Ahab to go into battle against Ramoth-gilead so he can be killed?’ “There were many suggestions, 21and finally a spirit approached the LORD and said, ‘I can do it!’ 22“‘How will you do this?’ the LORD asked. “And the spirit replied, ‘I will go out and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to speak lies.’ “‘You will succeed,’ said the LORD. ‘Go ahead and do it.’ 23“So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all your prophets. For the LORD has pronounced your doom.”'
Did you notice how you avoided giving what evil exactly to the reader would budaatum have scored with the inventiveness?
budatuum, is absolutely correct, because you can't con or fool a man/woman, except you feed the laziness, ignorance and ego. It's all in the detail and when you do not concentrate on the details, you may run into unexpected problems and Matthew 13:12 and Luke 8:18 above are self explanatory of the consequences of that (e.g. their ignorance is compounded) I already gave it. The person was just lying and there was nothing inventive in about it. Inventiveness means having the ability to create or design new things or to think originally. Captioning the picture truthfully could have conveyed the message without the lies. |

BassReeves: Animals generally are beasts, and so can be unpredictable, one chimp might care for a human, but another chimp in a similar situation won't think twice before ripping a human being's face off.
Beloved its you having the hump over why did God make man have so many similarities with the beasts called Apes. Remember?
You ask that question forgetting that God is Sovereign, meaning that God can act and do anything independently and do so without outside interference or anyone poke their nose(s) into His business, creation and creativity.
When you do start creating from scratch, an animal like a pygmy marmoset, the smallest monkey in the world, for instance, then maybe, we can start having a proper and worthwhile discussion because you by then would have paid your dues and earned the right to continue with this your determined inquisition.
Just get this clear, if not anything else, homo sapiens are made in the image of the Godhead and according to likeness of the Godhead Okay, the Godhead is a Supernatural Ape. I knew the Indians were on to something with the Monkey God. |

BassReeves: You don't have to be impressed that an ape offered a hooman a helping hand
I posted the picture to prove exactly that apes care for fellow primate, unlike most hoomans, hence there is nothing wrong in the God prerogative to make man have so many similarities with the beasts called Apes. Using the actions of one ape to prove something detrimental about human behavior is hasty generalization. You say the ape cares for a fellow primate unlike hoomans but the hooman in the picture is caring for the ape therefore disproving your claim. Anyway, we agree about the similarities. BassReeves: Apes clearly are beasts hence it is easy to understand, when they exhibit objectionable or unpleasant behaviour(s)
Habitat loss inarguably is one of the greatest threat to all animals like them, and its the elimination or alteration of the natural living conditions necessary for these beasts to survive what leads to, instances like that of chimps killing people in Uganda. Apes clearly are beasts hence it is easy to understand, when they exhibit objectionable or unpleasant behaviour(s). Therefore, it would be imprudent of God to make man have similarities to these beasts Habitat loss inarguably is one of the greatest threat to all people like them, and its the elimination or alteration of the natural living conditions necessary for people to survive that led to, instances like that of Israelites killing men, women, and children except the virgins in Midian. |

budaatum: Your creativity is not a lie, its just not true. See what you created above. "The Lord says", or you read in a book that someone wrote that the Lord said to someone the writer never met and you want the "Lord said" to buda.
There is always a link accompanying that image for those who are not too lazy to see its already been pointed out as untrue. Or would you claim the Parable of the Good Samaritan is untrue too because its a story? What creativity? The Lord says what needs to be known and it’s up to you to accept or reject it. Whatever book or Lord that you think I’m talking about indicates your beliefs are interfering with the transmission. The alleged link would be plausible deniability. You are such a good propagandist like the anti-vaxxers and Trump disciples. “There’s a link. Do your own research. You’re lazy!”. No, you’re just a liar. The Lord says, “ A parable is a sign of creativity. Thou lie when thy words do not match the image. Lies beget lies.” |

Below you see an orangutan that tried to rescue and showed more heart than most humans.
The orangutan saw the man in snake-infested water and believing he was in danger, tried to save him by offer a helping hand. The man was actually in the pond clearing it from snakes so to keep the apes safe from them, but the ape did not know this and so made repeated attempts to help the man, by reaching out its hand so to pull the man out of the snake infested murky water. cc budaatum Am I supposed to be impressed that an ape offered a human a helping hand? You post this picture to prove what exactly? Budaatum used the Orangutang as an example of moral behavior and the picture taker as an example of immoral behavior while lying by omission that the person taking the picture understood the man was not in danger.

The issue is not about "the goals of morphogenetic feilds"! The morphogenetic fields form the substrate of existence, or as you call it, creation. So the goals of morphogenetic fields are intrinsic to this discussion. Please, cease and desist if you do not have the capacity to understand the evidence. Nevertheless, we vibrate, we exist, we are reborn. We exist as chaos-driven reactions, so you have to note the similarities. You say some things are akin to pressing irons and cars but the cosmos is aglow with psionic wave oscillations and we all know non-locality is the driver of insight. |

By Definition: A Thing is either an OBJECT or MATERIAL we do not want to refer to by its proper name 1.

Unfortunately for you, if you agree that God is a thing, you have shot yourself in the foot for a thing must ALWAYS exist. Is there a thing that doesn't exist? A thing can be an object, article, item, artefact, commodity,device, gadget, contrivance, instrument, utensil, tool, implement. entity, body, action, event, abstract mathematical concepts in the field of numbers etc A thing can also be an idea as in mental constructs.

Will you agree that if a computer program is Nothing, then it doesn't exist 1. Yes. Computer programs are lines of code. A code is a thing 2. Pi is a thing because numbers are things used to describe or quantify objects, which are also things. 3. Whatever example you come up with can described as thing. Even your god is a thing.
