The soul is part of our intellect and is a gift to God, and with it comes knowledge, and that is why some people are able to build rocket ships, and machines, and cars. “For I know the plans I have for you, plans for you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” declares the Lord (Jeremiah 29.11). These talented individuals were able to create these inventions because they were blessed by God and it was in the destiny of their soul to design things that would make the World a better and more efficient place. Their goal was not simply to make money, but they wanted to make life more pleasant for everyone by sharing the knowledge and abilities that God blessed them with. Those who deny God…There is none which is more effectual in leading feeble spirits from the straight path of virtue, then to imagine that…after this life we have nothing to fear or to hope for, any more than the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz, our soul is in its nature entirely independent of the body, and in consequence that it is not liable to die with it. And then, inasmuch as we observe no other causes capable of destroying it, we are naturally inclined to judge that it is immortal. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 8

The concept of immortality and eternity is certainly one of the strongest fascinations of many of us today, as so many feel that 70 to 90 years is not long enough to get everything accomplished. Humanity has always desires to live forever because of a natural fear of death. The circulation of blood suggests that both animals and human bodies might be regarded as living machines. With the respect of animals there is simply no distinction in principle but that an automation in human shape, however brilliantly constructed, could always be distinguished from a true human being in two ways. There are two sorts of test which are bound to reveal the abuse of the vital rational soul: without a rational soul such an automaton would not be able to reply appropriately to everything said in its presence, as even the lowest type of man can do, and their lack of versatility would always reveal that the automata did not act from knowledge, but only from the disposition of their organs. Also, in regard to machines, it is morally impossible that there should be sufficient diversity in any machine to allow it to act in all events of life in the same way as our reason causes us to act. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 8

It is inconceivable that any material mechanism could replace a human. All of which is in us and which we cannot in any way conceive as possibly pertaining to a body, must be attributed to our soul.  And thought, which seems to include all actions and passions are considered to involve consciousness. By the word thought I understand all that is why not only understanding, willing, imaging, but feeling also here count as thought. Rational beings could not, without benefit of control by some Higher Purpose, have evolved first from creatures of a lower order and, ultimately, from inanimate matter. While we are on the subject of soul and immortality, it of course made me thing about mythical vampire. Being a member of the living dead, not having a soul, is the true meaning of duality because it is a total contradiction. Like to be alive, you have to possess a soul to keep your body from rotting. Vampires are not of the human World, and soulless, therefore, it leads me to believe that the soul is in the human blood and that is why the feed on humans in order to get their life-force. However, even vampires fear death and that is why they need to be a part of human society; not only are mortals a source of sustenance, but they are also a source of comfort. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 8

Man longs to be freed of nature, but once released to imaginative realms he needs to involve himself back in time and natural cycle. Only in such surroundings can the imagination guarantee life itself. Every hydrogen atom has one proton, and it has been speculated that in the past the and maybe sometime in the future that it may have been or will be possible for hydrogen atoms to have more than one proton. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75 percent of the elemental (baryonic) mass of the Universe. A proton (i.e. the nucleus of a hydrogen atom) has a positive electrical charge, that is, it acts like the positive end of a magnet. If we bring two protons together they repeal each other. The closer we try to push the protons together the more energy we need to overcome the repulsion. If we apply a lot of energy (on an atomic scale) we overcome the magnetic resistance and the two protons stick together; they have fused. In doing so, they give up a little of their mass in the form of energy. In fact, the energy released is greater than the energy that was required to force the two protons together. We now have a source of energy: nuclear fusion. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 8

Energy is released during the fusion of hydrogen because when two protons are forced together, they fuse. In addition, one of the protons changes into another particle; it transmutes from being a proton into being a neutron. Not only that, but in doing so it ejects two further particles: a positron (a positively charged electron) and a strange mass-less, particle called a neutrino. We know that the nucleus of an atom that is the second isotope of hydrogen, called deuterium. It contains one proton and one neutron. The positron and neutrino go flying off with kinetic energy supplied by converting some of the mass of the transmuted proton into kinetic energy, in accordance with E = mc2. This is how the Sun was formed 4.6 billion years ago. It was a huge cloud of gas. Most of that gas was hydrogen, but it also contained some helium (about 30 percent) and small amounts of many other elements such as carbon, oxygen, silicon, and so on. The gas cloud contracted under its own gravity and started to spin, in doing so ejecting most of the heavier elements, some which became the planets, asteroids and comets, and some which eventually ended up as you and me. What remained was a huge ball of mostly hydrogen and helium that we now call the Sun. #RyanPhillippe 5  of 8

I walked you through this process for a few different reason. One day it dawned on me that maybe adding another proton to a hydrogen atom would be the key to immortality. Because, now we see the process of nuclear fusion can also create energy, a Universe and human life. Not only that, but Mars is too cold for liquid water and with nearly 8 billion people crowding Earth, perhaps it will be possible to create a Sun, through nuclear fusion, maybe it would be possible to warm Mars up, as currently it is minus 60 degrees Celsius on an average day. If humans could learn how to fine tune nuclear fusion, the possibilities are endless. Not only that, but back to these mythical vampires. I was thinking that they are formed by some supernatural force we do not understand, and they by drinking blood, they have more than one soul, which allows them to live eternally. Just like when a person is in an accident, and they lose a lot of blood, they will go into shock and die, unless they get more blood. So blood extends the human life, but it does not make a human immortal. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 8

I saw that I could conceive that I had no body, and that there was no World nor place where I might be; but yet that I could not for all that conceive that I was not. I was a substance the whole essence or nature of which is to think, and that for its existence there is no need of any place, nor does it depend on any material thing; so that is me, that is to say, the soul by which I am what I am, is entirely distinct from body, and even if the body were not, the soul would not cease to be what is. The nature of the soul is such that it must be or must be presumed to be imperishable. None of these arguments requires any reference to a deity, and none appeals to any moral premises. This may perhaps be surprising, for most people—at least those in the European cultural tradition—are likely to think that belief in God and in immortality must go together.  They are inclined to take it for granted that the main if not the only point of immortality—and sometimes perhaps of God, too—is to provide inordinate rewards and punishments. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 8

However, there is no obvious inconsistently in believing in a Creator while denying that he has established a new World in a future life to redress that moral unbalances of the old. Nor does it appear that to assert our immortality is logically either to presuppose or to imply the existence of any sort of god. It may seem odd, but it is not manifestly inconsistent, for such avowedly atheist to affirm immortality. Freedom, immortality, and God are seen by some as the source of the Universal imperatives of morality. In the case of immortality and God, appears to be that something is said to be commanded by the moral law but could be obeyed only on a certain condition; therefore, the conclusion is drawn that that condition mist obtain but that it must be a postulate reason. Some proofs of Immortality are amongst the most forcible arguments for the existence of a Deity. Wickedness may affect an increase in the total quantity of one’s personal happiness is seen to be in conflict with reason, and to be destructive of all morality. #RyanPhillippe 8 of 8
