I’m neither.

There are lots of mysterious stuff about this world and facts of life that you need to study and discover, then you’ll see that I’ve got a point there!

For those who only believe in Science; Did you know that as of yet the “soul” has not been proved by the science? Then “Do you believe in soul”? Next " still call it a bullshit?".

I beleive in Soul, the musical genre. But nothing outside of science has proven the existence of a human soul in the sense that I think you mean, so you have nothing to add with that. You can believe what you want, but you don’t have proof.

I meant; everyone could have one or two experiences of supernatural powers and metaphysics, and hardly ever anyone can deny it. They are everywhere! [the real ones I mean].

I believe that…the missing plane is missing…because…well it hasn’t been found and it’s not where it’s supposed to be, when it was flying something happened and nobody knows what happened to it cause it’s missing and nobody can locate it on a world map. Maybe it’s in South Africa…and education today is not what it was yesterday or tomorrow for a fifth of Americans.

One thing has proved that; the human cloning! When they cloned a human baby in the Lab, she died because of the lack of soul.

By the way, what has become of “Eve” the first [presumably] cloned baby?

This is a thread about a missing Malaysian plane, not about souls or cloned babies. There were 239 “souls” on board, but that’s just aviation jargon for people.

… You just said she died. Cite for whatever this “Eve” is, you’re talking about?

and we should do something to help South Africa and Iraq and Malaysia because lots of Americans don’t have maps…and if we did we could find the missing plane…and help the missing passengers and give them maps.

Another thought, has anyone been checking Craig’s List for a used 777, slight water damage?

Not really. Once we admit of the possibility that the plane is no longer on Earth, we are in a realm in which the distances involved (such as between stars and galaxies) are almost beyond imagining. On that scale, if the plane’s on Mars it _is_ near water, since there’s water on Earth.

At least that’s what the psychic’s going to say when the plane is found on Mars. Always with the excuses.

They are not. You are mistaken. If you really think that is true it’s going to be hard to explain why no one in authority is going to consult with psychics to find a missing plane.

Founded in 1997, it has philosophical ties with the UFO religion Raëlism, which sees cloning as the first step in achieving immortality. On December 27, 2002, Clonaid's chief executive, Brigitte Boisselier, claimed that a baby clone, named Eve, was born. Media coverage of the claim sparked serious criticism and ethical debate that lasted more than a year. Florida attorney Bernard Siegel tried to a...

See, everybody, this isn’t quite the contradiction it might seem. The example in the first paragraph might not have been the first cloned baby, but a later one.

“The Malaysian air liner disappeared. By the way, what ever happened to Wilbur and Orville’s first airplane?”

Also…wasn’t this a quip? Lack of soul, like, not hearing enough Motown?

More bullshit. That never happened. And if it did, where is your proof? No one’s going to take your word for it. And what Eve are you talking about? The fictitious one in the bible?? You might as well ask what happened to Dumbledore.

If a cloned baby dies for want of a soul, how can identical twins live?
