Thing is that, I know it can’t be proven by science as soul and spirit are something beyond like science can’t answer that. I think that there is something called soul and spirit but I am very naive enough to understand what exactly are they. Those who believe, can you pls give me proofs like not scientific, but logical, metaphysical.

    Reminded me of “I think therefore I am”. What is tautology?? Well I don’t believe anything. I just look for scientific and logical evidence and what seems rationally consistent and true, I accept the fact. I don’t have faith.

      Interestingly, Descartes wrote in the margin “we cannot doubt our existence while we doubt.”

      Tautology is a form of circular reasoning where you define something as a thing and use the definition to prove it. For example, if I said “all balls are round,” you might suggest that you could make a ball out of a cube, or force a ball into a cube shape, disproving my statement. “Aha, but once it is a cube, it ceases to be a ball!” That’s a tautological argument. I haven’t proven my statement, I have merely defined the statement as true and applied it as truth in my defense.

      If you don’t have faith, why are you in a religion community asking about souls?
