Do you think ponies are real?

Why not? That strikes me as rather solipsistic. Your belief seems to be due to an unwillingness to believe anything else could be so, rather than a product of rational thought.

It is not an unwillingness, it is simply something that I cannot comprehend.

Sure, but simply because you are unable to comprehend something does not make it untrue, does it? Quantum physics is far beyond my comprehension, but I don't doubt it's validity as a nascent science because of that.

Did you know about 90% of Scientists believe there is a God and there is an afterlife? Serious, even the people who made these "Science Guesses" don't even believe in their own work!

Any-Who... Let's be friends and just say "Anything is Possible."

Citations please? I know 90% DON'T believe in a personal god.

Even christian sites are only claiming as high as 33%.

That is a very arrogant and ignorant statement. Science guesses haha. Science is based on fact. Not making up a story and then blindly believing in it.

My teacher once said: "All Religions are just old fairy tales but there is still a God. Someone created us some how." That is a reply to the whole christian thing.

And like I said, "Anything is Possible." And I do believe my quote about them scientists are most likely true. I would get ye' a site but me dial-up is not so friendly.

Here's another study from a more reputable source- http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/sci_relig.htm

Unless you can back up your frivolous statistics, don't post them. It makes you look uneducated, disingenuous and ignorant.

Not everything in Science are facts. Like Matter Cannot be Created nor Destroyed. That is not true.

Then prove that that's so, and receive a nobel prize. If you are to make such bold statements, verify them with evidence. Until you can do that anyone with a functioning brain will laugh you out of any discussion you have.

Think about this. Human Souls do count as Matter and I know we all have Souls. Answer me how we are duplicating by the billions and constantly creating human beings with Souls without actually creating new souls? Answer me where these Souls are coming from.

You cannot say we don't have any cause we do or otherwise, we wont be having this discussion in the first place. You can't also say that the Souls comes from a dead human cause that isn't true due to the constant increase of the human population.

So, I'll say it again. Where is our Souls coming from? Or am I correct and they are being created?

These "souls" are the human mind and perception. That's all. When a person is born then that's when a "soul" is created. It's just human perception.

I'm going to share a couple of the things I said had us scratching our heads. All three of these were captured at the same location but on separate visits about 6 years ago. The site is an abandoned Catholic school/church with several buildings, underground tunnels, cemetery with all Catholic priests, a crypt, and surrounding woods. Again we're able to debunk about 90% of the places we investigate and we've only gotten a handful of really interesting things over several years. We look for normal explanations, tag sounds, cross check recorders, and do control silences. In this first clip, a group of us was in the old dorms building asking EVP questions when the owner dropped in to check up on us. Everyone was together and the other two groups were in separate buildings. We asked if the owner wanted to try asking some questions, so he asked "What should I do with this place?" One of us repeats the question, and then you hear this response which nobody heard at the time:

http://soundcloud.com/user9852109/clip1

This next one was recorded about a month later on a follow up visit. A group of us was in the church and tried singing church hymns to see if that would get a response. When they ran out of memorized hymns, they tried some Christmas carols though this was still early October. About an hour later they had moved on to another building and now another group was sitting about 10 feet away in a hallway that runs into the church. The two groups had had no communication with each other between that time. The two investigators were just sitting in the hall with their voice recorders running asking questions when one of their cell phones began playing We Wish You A Merry Christmas:

http://soundcloud.com/user9852109/christmasphone

The investigator said he searched his phone inside and out and that song is not anywhere on there. It isn't very advanced and there's no way someone could have sent it to him without him knowing. Could it have been a glitch? Possibly, but what's really odd is that it was October and the timing of it.

This last one was recorded a week or two later. One of our investigators was at the property by himself helping the owner clean up. In the recording you can hear him sweeping. He and the owner (male) were the only ones on the property at the time, and the location is about the size of a small college campus. There were no females present, yet in this clip a female voice seems to say his name (Kurt):

Is any of this paranormal? I don't know, I'm not making any claims. I just wanted to share a couple of the interesting things we've had.

You are so misguided that I am stunned. I could form a rebuttal but I'm lacking in the saintly patience required. I am simply shocked beyond any expressible standard.

That's where the idea of a soul came from, the human mind. There is no such thing as a soul though. Humans just have a great sense of self-awareness.

I am just as stunned as modus. You have all these rules set up for soul transfer or whatever.

actually it is true. but it can be turned into energy so it's not destroyed it merely releases it's potential energy

to give an idea on how much potential energy is in matter I've heard that the nukes used in WWII individually released about the same as the total energy potential as a single dollar bill.

No. We all have souls. Our soul is what makes us unique from other animals. Our soul is what allows us to feel our unique feelings we have, instead of just lust, anger, or few small ones that all other animals have... Our soul is what makes us, well... Us. Without our souls, we are just another stupid animal on this pathetic planet and we all will have no religions, no government, no technology, nothing like that. We all would be busy being just like wild animals and living that life.. Our Souls what makes us have our current life instead of that...

I am being serious right now. When it comes down to believes, such as Souls, I am serious. I do not joke on topics, such as this.

So you think we're better than other animals because we have souls? We don't have souls we have perception and sentience. We are very intelligent animals that is all. Apes use technology and tools. So I guess they once they started using tools and became intelligent enough they just grew souls right? You think your better than a dog or gorilla but you are not in a biological sense.

Ridiculous. You say what you say about souls like you know what your talking about, when it's just a belief. Believe what you want, but you are wrong.
