First, I do not wish this to be a debate thread because nobody can prove what we are discussing. My intention for this thread is for people who believe we have a soul to think outside the box and discuss what they believe the soul is. Let's not make this about religion, please. Let's keep it scientific if possible.
My own explanation of a soul is simple, I will admit that. I am not a neurologist and everyone except 2 people here won't expect me to be (lol!!). I also have no scientific journals or papers to throw at you because again, we are just having a friendly discussion.
Here goes. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Our memories are energy, correct? They are stored on our brain using electrical impulses. So, when we die, where does this energy go? Do our memories float away into cyberspace or do they stay contained in a "soul"? Is our consciousness basically equivalent to our soul? These are things I wonder.
Do any of you have any ideas about what a soul could be and what it is composed of? You don't need to quote scientists and doctors unless you want to, because I'm interested in what YOU have to say. If I wasn't, I could Google all day long and not even come here.
What do YOU think a soul is?
