The concept of "soul" existed in the human brain 25,000 to 50,000 years ago, which was inferred by anthropologists.
As for what is the soul? A very superstitious statement believes that there is an inviolable and immaterial thing that always dominates the human body. As long as it leaves the body, a human will die, and this inviolable thing is the soul.
So, does the "soul" really exist? After conducting scientific analysis and recording, some researchers have learned that the soul will leave the body in some cases, such as when performing electrical stimulation of the brain, when sleeping, when dehydrating, when experiencing near-death experiences, etc.
However, scientists generally believe that the out-of-body out of body is actually just an hallucination triggered by certain neurological mechanisms.
Chinese and foreign thinkers have refuted the issue of soul from the perspective of common sense and logic. For example, Eastern Han Wang Chong did not believe that people would become ghosts after death. His rebuttal angle is very unique: if the soul is immortal after death and there are much more dead people than living people, then there should be ghosts everywhere.
Some scientists' explanation of the phenomenon of soul is like this. One is cognitive errors caused by psychological effects, including illusions and hallucinations; the other is psychopathological effects, that is, damage to brain organs, resulting in forgetting, mental disorders and other phenomena.
In short, there is currently no evidence that there is still life after death, nor is there any evidence that there is no life after death. In other words, it is not yet determined whether the "soul" exists or not.
However, at least one of the soul and destiny exists objectively. If the soul and the creator do not exist, the power of the various particles in the world comes entirely from the Big Bang, and the particles interact with each other to form the current material world.
Then, all our actions, all things in this world, whether in the past, present or future, have been destined to happen like this since the Big Bang of the universe, and this is the derivation of the existence of destiny.
And if you want to get rid of complete fatalism, the uncertain quantum world seems to be able to do it. But if everyone corresponds to a quantum model, isn’t that the soul? Otherwise, how can we get rid of complete fatalism through our own thinking or behavior? Therefore, there is at least one objective existence of the soul and destiny.
With the development of human science, more and more things that subvert our cognition may appear in the future. If the soul is confirmed by future science, what impact will it have on us?
Although our lives are ordinary, they are also very special. As a higher intelligent creature, the probability of human beings being born is lower than imagined, but human beings can only understand a three-dimensional space composed of length, width and height. After all, human beings are three-dimensional creatures.
. Modern physics points out that there may be other parallel universes outside the universe where we are, where the dimension is higher and the thinking space is beyond our understanding.
In this case, even if future science confirms the existence of the soul, humans cannot see it with their naked eyes, and modern science is difficult to detect. Anyway, it is invisible and intangible, so it will not have any impact on human society.
is like the dark matter and dark energy in the universe. They neither radiate nor reflect light. We cannot see them, and we cannot observe them with scientific means, but they really exist in the universe. The same is true for the souls. Even if they really exist, we will not be affected by them, but will exist independently of each other. However, we have a more scientific and reasonable view of this universe and are more clear about the status of human beings in the universe.
