But we all know that this walnut is on its way to becoming a baby...........don't we?

This is what is the unmanifest baby.

Its there but it isn't there.

No, I do not know that a walnut becomes a baby.

As a working definition, and since the various theists are somewhat coy about giving one, I'm going to define the soul to be a non-physical entity which somehow contains the essence of who we are and may exist independently of the body.

There are two possibilities, either we have souls or we do not. If we do not have souls then as a matter of observa ...[text shortened]... most theists are talking about. I therefore do not think that you have shown that souls exist.

The mind is immaterial, while the brain is material. 😏

So you have no way to prove what you just said. No wait, you will just post a video of someone ELSE's thoughts, god forbid you use your own brain, such as it is.

Actually sonhouse, I think you do Mr Hinds a great disservice, he is living proof that intelligent design cannot possibly exist!

You are a sharp pencil.

Sadly your sharp wit is wasted on over analyzing that which is beyond mundane perception.

The soul [you] cannot be perceived by mundane perception.

However when the mind and heart are purified by engaging in Bhakti Yoga or Krsna Consciousness / then and only then will you be able to perceive that which is unperceivable.

Dont let your strong intelligence over analyze everything..............and then miss the mark.

And are you aware that the game "chess" was first discovered and played in the Vedas.

The Supreme Personality of "Godhead Krsna" is fond of playing the eternal game of chess.
