opinion?

I thought we could prove that we are made of cells?

(there is scientific evidence I mean?)

You can't prove we are JUST made of cells and that there is NOTHING MORE to us

what can a human being do that cannot be explained by our cells allowing us to do such things?

Typical, extremely logical and extremely educated BS response that you'l find on these forums. You know fine rightly what I'm on about, your just trying to be inteligent. 

as opposed to illogical, uneducated and unintelligent? (im just reversing your words...)

youre trying to argue that there is some part of a human that exists beyond the cellular?

my question is simple, how and why?

 

Ok. The question is really about whether there is more to humans that just their biological structure. It all comes down to whether someone believes in spirtual stuff or not. For example, if someone says they have been possessed by a demon, or have contacted God then although their biological cells have been used through these processes, it's still 'more' than what is considered to be human. Some people believe that there are other parts of a human being that can exist even after a human's cells have died (the Soul etc). 

I would define those things as "delusions" or "hullicinations", which are biological unless im mistaken.

1) how are they not biological?
2) why would I believe in something that is unscientific?

1) They are connections between neurons in the brain, so of course they're biological. But can we say for sure that they are purely biological? What causes those specific neuron connections which lead to a specific dream?

2) Because the scientific knowledge of humanity has enormous holes in it, and thus something which is unproven isn't necessarily "unscientific". How can a group of people on a rock orbiting a smallish star in one of several billion galaxies that make up our universe possibly know everything there is to know about any aspect of science? Indeed, for all we know, the entire Big Bang Theory could be completely false, but let's not go there. The point is that, until there is concrete evidence that consciousness ceases after death of the body, nobody can say that they "know" anything about "afterlife", or lack of it.
