I have two Italian Greyhounds, here's a picture of them:
Are these animals just lumps of matter or is there something more to them? Is it only people that are not lumps of matter?
Do animals have spirit?

Is the Energy intelligent?Jehovah's energy, so to speak, imparts life to the person or animal, in fact, all living things.
God is the intelligence behind the Spirit.
But is not GOD. Is that what you are claiming?The Spirit comes directly from God.

Re: Do animals have spirit?
Post #102I just gotta tell it..
When there's a debate on if critters have em a spirit or not, well how bout that.
If none of my dogs made it to Heaven, can it really be called Heaven?
How'm I gonna know who really was a good boy, if there ain't no dogs in Heaven? No way they're all evil.
Cats, on the other hand...

Re: Do animals have spirit?
Post #103No, YOU have made the effort to separate "them." Of course the Spirit is not God. It emanates FROM God, like power emanates from an electrical facility. The power is not the electrical facility.William wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 9:40 pmReferring to things as 'them' automatically separates.onewithhim wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 9:31 pmI haven't separated them.William wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 11:24 pmWhy separate GOD from Spirit?onewithhim wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 10:33 pmNo.William wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 1:11 pm [Replying to onewithhim in post #95]

The Energy itself is NOT intelligent, but the Facility which produces the Energy IS, and is GOD?
So - what you may be attempting to convey, is that the facility which creates the Energy is GOD, but the Energy itself is not GOD?Of course the Spirit is not God. It emanates FROM God, like power emanates from an electrical facility. The power is not the electrical facility.

William: The "Power-Station Concept"
viewtopic.php?p=1084079#p1084079
GM: From the link;GM: What Is Found Here?Spirit is not God. It emanates FROM God, like power emanates from an electrical facility. The power is not the electrical facility.
William: The analogy makes GOD a Machine...
GM: Cycle Chance, "That is Correct"
William: If it were, that makes the physical universe created from the Energy, 'the machine' because that is the only machinery we see.
This in turn makes the "Creates Itself Fallacy" questionable...which is why GOD is conveniently placed outside of the universe.
Even so - this make GOD a machine creating a machine...
Then we have the atheist foot in the door asking "what created the GOD machine?" and reminding us of the "absurdity of infinite regression" [while infinite progression remains strangely valid]

Post #107That is like unto the Star Wars universe where The Force can be integrated with the individuals consciousness and used for both 'dark-side' and 'light-side' activity.onewithhim wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 2:41 pmYes.William wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 11:59 am [Replying to onewithhim in post #103]

The Power-Station analogy doesn't exclude The Force from originating from a mechanistic device. [Power Station]
The device is simply hidden and as a Power Station it requires being accounted for as to how it came to be built.

Isaac Asimov summed it up succinctly with his fireside telling of it ... The Last Question
Consciousness created The Machinery.
For some reason, Consciousness is able to effect the Quantum Field and through the vibrations of this interaction, Energy is created and form with function is manifested.
The "function" aspect is solely the dominion of Consciousness.
In that, the equation;
0 ‽ E & ∴ ‽ F c̅ QM [Consciousness Creates Energy And Thereby Creates Functional Form With Quantum Matter
0 ‽ F c̅ E + 0 [Consciousness Creates Functional Form With Energy and Consciousness]
Q: How is Energy produced by Consciousness? [What is the fundamental nature of Energy?]
