Christian Evolutionist
Most of all, those things are themselves the product of physical things.
There are no "emotions" or "mental states" without a physical brain to produce such.
Taking out the physical aspect of it, is when we get into the territory of magic.
Right. And physics is what it is. And there's a certain limit to what the chemical / physical underpinnings life can endure.
So if you acknowledge that it's all physics, then what are you arguing about exactly?
I don't really care what the bible says nor am I interested in semantics.
I thought that might be the case, but as an evolutionist, understanding that life came from a big bang, developed from an inhospitable environment, and evolved into the life forms we acknowledge today, I'd think if you truly understood the concept, you'd at the very least acknowledge the continuation and further evolution of life.
