However simplifying things to the point where it is easy to accept them at face value does not do anybody any good. For example, some of the prettiest drawings have been made by computers using mathematical formulae to draw images, such as randomized vector diagrams. Only one statement is muddled in my view,<blockquote>The spirit is simply giving life to and controlling the body via the mind. In the mind is facsimiles recorded of the whole existence of the person with all perceptions. That is why you can remember things and how it looks etc</blockquote>. Actually the spirit is not what gives life, since a virus is alive but without spirit, however spirit is what brings us closer to God, or what separates us from the animals. The indescribable feature making us Human, the mind is what gives life and the brain contains all our memories stored as chemicals in our synapses. Also, doing a simple spell check would help lend some credibility to the article. Regards, Patrick A. I agree in general with the article.
