NOT separate? You're stepping well outside standard Christian dogma there, it maintains there's an immaterial soul that survives the death of the body.

Pigeons lives are controlled by an immaterial force called electromagnetism. Why should humans be any different. A recent study confirms the same force directing the lives of fish as well. Are humans exceptions to this discovery? I think not.
Well, it's certainly true that our lives are controlled by electromagnetism, though not in the way I suspect you mean.
You don't have to suspect my meaning, I thought I've been very clear. Do you have any evidence to support your unsupportable position?
Have to guess, and wildly at that because your knowledge of physics is extremely tenuous.Of course you guess.
Recall the qualifier "humanly speaking" in my previous post, Dex.
human (adj.)
mid-15c., humain, humaigne, from Old French humain, umain (adj.) "of or belonging to man" (12c.), from Latin humanus "of man, human," also "humane, philanthropic, kind, gentle, polite; learned, refined, civilized," probably related to homo (genitive hominis) "man" (see homunculus) and to humus "earth," on notion of "earthly beings," as opposed to the gods (cf. Hebrew adam "man," from adamah "ground"). Cognate with Old Lithuanian zmuo (accusative zmuni) "man, male person."
Online Etymology Dictionary
The etymology of the term "human" relates to the humus/earth. Earth existence is indeed a commingling of matter and spirit. The spiritual however eventually sheds the material:
"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." (Matthew 22:30 NIV)
hhmmm Oxymorons really are useful for something! I never would have figured.
This tendency of the faithful to use terms like "evidence", "fact", "theory", etc. reminds me of vegans making "burgers", "hotdogs", "turkey", "BBQed ribs", etc. out of soybean curd.
Yes. Heat and light are electromagnetic. Human life can't exist without heat and light. QED.

You might be surprised to learn that I am currently studying Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) online while I'm following this discussion, LG. Rational faith - it's the subject of this thread. For those who bring head and heart to their investigation of life, there is room for both reason and hope.
But you are speaking for it.
I suspect that you haven't published any paper in support of that.
To his credit, he understands the difference between magnetism and electromagnetism. Which puts him one up on you.But you are speaking for it.
I suspect that you haven't published any paper in support of that.
Thank you, while I don't have time to read your rebut right now, I do appreciate the time and effort you expended. A simply stunning first sentence, where is the rest of it?
So you both understand a difference that dosn't exist.
common misconception 12 — why electricity over magnetism?
Posted on November 29, 2013 by sschirott
Misconception:
Why electricity over magnetism? The Magnetic Universe does not require an Electric Universe.
Answer:
In the real world, electricity and magnetism occur together as a unitary electromagnetic phenomenon. Scientists and engineers often focus their attention on one aspect or the other in order to solve a particular problem. That doesn’t mean the neglected aspect no longer exists. Even in the case of ferromagnetic materials—bar magnets, for example—the magnetism is due to electrons spinning and orbiting around positive nuclei. The resulting current loops can be oriented to generate the exterior magnetic field. The currents are called amperian currents.
Why would I be surprised? After all, anyone can use terms whether they can understand them, use them appropriately, etc. or not.
Yes; rational faith - rational, suggesting logical or reasonable, and faith, suggesting spiritual confidence rather than proof or evidence. lol
I'm trying to get you to address the roots of Christianity, contrary to what you believe it did not start two thousand years ago, and it did not start with a living God. Your hesitation to address these historical truths and instead insist on the new chronological history paints you as Neo Christian.
I have changed the oil, charged the battery, filled up the tank and the tires are inflated. Do I have scientific certainty the car will start in the morning or do I have faith that it will start?
PS this is a hypothetical question
?
I don't need to. The evidence concerning your abilities on physics is publicly available to anyone snooping through CC or googling "forums", "physics", and suchlike terms in order to arrive here at CC..I suspect that you haven't published any paper in support of that.
There are more variables involved that you haven't accounted for (is there even an engine in the car, is it an internal combustion engine or electric, etc., ad nauseum), but taking that into consideration, I'd have to suggest a successful ignition and running would be more of a faith issue than a scientific issue.
You attach a "rather than" to faith, LG, suggesting a subjectivity or a personal bias in your consideration of these two concepts.
Christ is the root of Christianity, DB. Although the incarnation of Christ occurred about two-thousand years ago, the Spirit of Christ has been active in human history since it's inception.
Does the patient have a pulse? Stable or unstable? Wide or narrow QRS complex? Sorry, DB. I need more clinical information : )
