Default Re: The Ultimate Question

[ QUOTE ]
"Please define what is meant by "you"."

Your sense of "self". What religious people call the soul.

[/ QUOTE ]

The soul is infused by God and is not dependent on biological processes that might have occurred differently. And that soul is the eternal aspect of yourself that survives death. This is not merely intelligence or psychology, which are greatly dependent on those biological processes. Imagine if your soul, intelligence , memories and sense of self could be swapped into the body of man of the same age who was a tribesman eeking out a living on the edge of the Kalahari desert. How useful would that intelligence be in that environment, being the smartest dirt poor tribesman with no resources there? Probably not much as far as your life on earth went. But your soul, created by God for an eternal purpose, would still be no worse off than that of any man on earth since you could still attain the eternal end that God desires for you.
