A body can lose a number of parts (arms, legs, etc.) and still survive. A soul is one entity; when it leaves it takes everything with it. It does not leave behind things like eyesight or hearing. A damaged eye can be repaired and sight restored because the part of the soul that gives sight is still in the body. A body is mostly voids. Many x-rays pass straight through without hitting anything. Electrons make up much of the body. Scientists cannot tell is an electron is a particle or a wave. One reason a body seems real is weight, the pull of gravity. A body out in space will float around like a soul. The body decomposes rapidly when the soul leaves.
An animal has the spark of life, the five senses and an expandable memory. A human has these three plus two more: Understanding and free will. These five ethereal things make up a soul. Understanding example: A three, four, five right triangle. Free will example: A human can sit by a plate of food and go on a hunger strike.
Scientists tell us the body evolved from a primordial soup over millions of years. At some point special genes popped up and caused rapid expansion in the large brain that makes us human. Houston Chronicle 12/20/04: “17 brain-building genes mutated at a tremendously rapid rate in humans, compared with the brains of chimpanzees.” See also Genesis Chapter two verse seven.
The soul is inserted into the embryo the instant the sperm fertilizes the egg. An embryo can be moved to another womb and still develop into a grown person.
Many men now place a barrier between the sperm and the egg. No embryo is formed. Where do the souls go?

Should Obama get credit or blame?
In a long Saturday Nov. 12 feature column, the writer suggested that President Obama "could only take credit or blame for those things that are the result of his ideas." He then listed twelve items for consideration in making that assessment. An only slightly edited version of those twelve items will make them more useful for that purpose and that version follows. (1) President Obama inherited Bush's Great Recession....which had actually been created, not by Bush, but by a failed seventy year experiment in socialism. (2) He stabilized the banking system....using borrowed money. (3) He extended unemployment benefits....using borrowed money. (4) He reduced taxes....using borrowed money. (5) He signed a health-care law....funded by borrowed money. (6) A nuclear arms treaty was signed with the Soviet Union....which had been defeated by Ronald Reagan twenty years ago. (7) Job loss steadily decreased and eventually has resulted in job gains....among government workers and funded by borrowed money. (8) Obama saved the three American auto companies....using borrowed money. (9) He passed a stimulus plan....using borrowed money. (10) Several Al Qaeda leaders were killed....by our remarkable military teams trained during the Bush Administration. (11) The President is trying to solve the nation's short and long-term economic problems....using borrowed money. (12) President Obama has been willing to compromise....in order to raise taxes or borrow more money.
Based on the writer's list, does President Obama deserve credit or blame?
