that's interesting because:
Um... Claiming victory without evidence is being Like Donald Trump, Syed.

Can you give more detail? How does this 'battery' interact with our body? How does it connect? Where is it situated?

The question is not, yet, the purpose or function of a soul.
It's still, "Why would anyone accept that such a thing is real?"
Answer that, THEN we get to 'why are there souls?' and after that 'Is a god necessary to explain souls?' and after after that 'Why is so hard for white boys to have soul?'
i asked who created life, just say you dont know

The cessation of all detectable life functions for a given unit.
Still hazy on the difference between explaining the function of a still-hypothetical soul and one single fucking reason to think it's real.
See, right now, the soul being attached to or detaching from a body is NOT a detectable life function. So does not, yet, have any impact on our definition of death.

No.
YOU asked a question.
I asked, why would anyone think that question was not gibberish?

I don't know about a ban, but maybe he can have something tailored for him, so he's only allowed to post in the Road To Nowhere forum, a move that will save time and limit his ability to shit on others?

It's only trash if it's taken seriously. It could be seen as comedy, mildly entertaining, an example of strange beliefs, an example of a poor education, poor logic, unwillingness to learn, etc. Being a freethought forum, shouldn't these things be freely expressed?

Cool. That would be scientifically possible to verify. Have you got any studies to show this?
BTW, I'm pretty sure the soul is a poetic metaphor and has always been. It's your feeling of a sense of self. And it has been well studied. Based on available science we don't have a soul. Not a real one. We may have a metaphorical one. But that's just poetic language. That's not really a thing.

You forgot to have "nobody knows" as an option. Which is the truth. Mostly likely it came through natural causes. There's certainly nothing natural to prevent it from happening. So that's my bet. A problem with researching it is that later life destroyed the earlier life. So we're low on evidence. Quite likely we'll never find any. Still doesn't prove God did it.
Best guess is that organic molecules became replicative and eventually formed prokaryotic bacteria (basically a complex chemical, but primitive 'life'). Eventually some branch of prokaryotic bacteria became eukaryotic (bacteria with a mitochondria for greater energy production). Eventually eukaryotic bacteria evolved into multi-cellular organisms and the rest is history.
I believe, for most of the history of multi-cellular organisms, animal life only existed in water (that's where it's believed life originated). Eventually some branches of animals branched into amphibians (animals that live on land and water), and from there some evolved to live solely on land.
Human beings are mammals. In the early days mammals were very small creatures that had to run quickly to escape from being eaten by dinosaurs. Once dinosaurs largely went extinct that led to the rise of mammals, and the eventual existence of human beings.
Nowadays, scientists say we're a part of the 'anthropocene extinction event', meaning human beings are causing one of earth's greatest mass extinctions.
Lately, though, I don't like to make a distinction between human beings and other life on earth. In other words, I don't put all of the blame on human beings themselves, but rather the 'life' chemical reaction itself. Human beings are one of the results of evolution, which resulted in mass energy extraction from the earth, which is now resulting in a shift in our atmosphere, which will go on to write another chapter in earth's environmental history.

first you said "nobody knows" who created life on earth ?
then you explain "natural causes" created life on earth
"natural causes" mean earth's chemicals ?
Yep. Life is a chemical.
car is made of earth's elements that does not explain who made the car?
