    Matter
Let's stick to the topic at hand.In summary, the conversation discussed the concept of the soul and its composition. It was suggested that the soul is a matter because it is made up of protoplasm within the nucleus, which has a definite chemical composition, mass, and occupies space. However, there were some doubts raised about the validity of this claim and the relevance of this discussion.

According to me soul is a matter.
This is because actually the substance we call soul is the protoplasm inside the nucleus.
So it must has a definite chemical composition.
And if it has composition it must have mass and it must occupy space, and it can be felt by our sensors.
So it is a matter

A = B
A = B because C
A has D
if A has D then E, F and G
Therefore A = B

Lol, what makes you think that what is defined as a 'soul' is the nucleoplasm?

Unless your just making up a new word 'soul' which looks and sounds like the old word 'soul' but doesn't resemble it at all in usage or definition.

Beyond the flawed logic, this is not appropriate for discussion.
 

FAQ: Is the Soul Really Made of Matter?

What is the evidence that suggests the soul is made of matter?

There is currently no scientific evidence that suggests the existence of a soul or that it is made of matter. The concept of a soul is often considered a philosophical or religious idea, rather than a scientific one.

Can the soul be measured or observed in any way?

No, the soul cannot be measured or observed in any way using scientific methods. This is because the soul is believed to be non-physical and not bound by the laws of physics that govern the material world.

Is there a scientific explanation for the concept of a soul?

No, there is currently no scientific explanation for the concept of a soul. The idea of a soul is often based on personal beliefs and cultural traditions, rather than scientific evidence.

Are there any studies or experiments that have attempted to prove the existence of a soul?

There have been some studies and experiments that have attempted to provide evidence for the existence of a soul, but these have been met with skepticism and have not been widely accepted by the scientific community. Additionally, the validity and reliability of these studies have been questioned.

Can the concept of a soul be reconciled with the theory of evolution?

The concept of a soul is often seen as conflicting with the theory of evolution, which is based on the idea of natural selection and the physical adaptation of living organisms. However, some people may believe that the soul and evolution can coexist, as the soul is seen as a non-physical aspect of human existence that cannot be explained by scientific means.
