If we really are nothing more than just atoms, and matter, why do we have a desire for truth, love, justice, and beauty. Why don't we always just seek our own pleasure. For example, when we watch a sunset many of us feel a connection to something bigger, something more meaningful than us. We can't just be a bunch of atoms.
The universe is full of amazing and beautiful things that can bring joy and awe to humans. Some things in life are so incredible that they can bring tears of joy to our eyes.
And yet, if we are just bunch of atoms, why do we care about such things? Why would we care if for example, you lose someone you love or care about? The fact that we do care about those things, and want to live a life with a purpose, and want to spend our time doing things that bring meaning to our lives speaks to us having a soul.
When we look at the stars and marvel at their beauty we can’t help but feel a sense of wonder and awe. We can’t help but feel a sense of something bigger. We can’t help but feel connected to something more meaningful than our own mundane lives.
If the atheists are right, and we are just nothing more than a bunch of atoms, why do we have so much emotion and passion for something bigger and greater than ourselves? Why don’t we just seek out our own pleasure and nothing more?
If the atheists are right, and there really is no God and we really are just a bunch of atoms with no soul, then we should have no care about things like truth and justice. We wouldn't even have a concept of justice or truth. We wouldn't care about beauty or meaning.
We would just care about our own pleasure and nothing more. Because, in the end, nothing would matter. But that's not what we are like. We all have a sense of meaning and purpose within us. We all desire truth. We all desire justice. And that's because we all have a soul.
The fact that we all have a sense of truth and justice and desire to live a life with a purpose speaks to us having a higher nature than the mere material. The fact that we all seem to have an underlying desire and need for moral virtues speaks to something within us that is more than the mere material.
We are more than mere atoms and the fact that we can feel connection to the universe, the world, and even the people around us speaks to us having something that is more than the material. The soul.
When you look around, this world is filled with amazing things. Some amazing things such as beautiful sunsets, majestic mountains, and oceans that go on and on. Some things to so amazing that they bring us a sense of awe and wonder.
And yet, if we are just a bunch of atoms like the atheists say, why do we find these things so amazing? If we’re just a bunch of atoms, why would nature move us and inspire us so much? Because the fact is: we have something in us that is more than the material. That’s the soul.
The beauty of the world and our experiences of it, cannot be explained by atheism. Beauty is more than a mere chemical reaction that occurs in the brain. That is my argument.
The existence of morality, beauty, truth and love, and our experience of them cannot be explained under the framework of philosophical naturalism, which is the idea that nature and physics is all that exists in the universe.
If naturalism is true and there is no soul or spirit, our experience of beauty has no actual existence. It just becomes an illusion created by the way our brains are wired.
Our experience of beauty, morality, truth, and love shows that our worldview, that there is no spiritual realm, and we are all a bunch of soulless animals is demonstrably false. The fact there is beauty, truth, love, and morality proves that there is a spiritual realm and we have a soul within us.
Our experience provides us a profound existential truth that is a great source of comfort, and strength, and joy, and meaning, and purpose, and hope, and dignity, and love that we would have to give up if we abandoned the idea of souls and the spiritual.
