This question is no doubt the most important question in the universe. If God exists and the Bible is true, then we are in trouble! If God does not exist and there is no purpose to life, nor is there life after death, then we are in trouble! So this appears to be the ultimate question with crucial consequences.
Does the Soul exist? Is there any scientific and logical argument that supports this?
In order to follow this we must first understand the law of cause-and-effect (causality). This is the principle that for every effect (or event) there is a cause. This is the idea that it is impossible to have something happen without a cause. It is metaphysical principle called ex nihilo nihil fit (which is Latin for “Out of nothing comes nothing“). Causality is easily observed and identified. For example: leaves move because of wind, it snows because of temperature and moisture, rockets launch in the air because of burning fuel etc. Jesus prayed that all believers should be one (see John 17) so the world would be convinced that He was all that He claimed to be; and it is very true the differences put people off and so they can claim, “ If you cannot agree, how can we be sure what you say is right and reliable?”
