Excerpt from Matter and Spirit, or the Problem of Human Thought: A Philosophical Argument
But to the question, Can God organize matter so that it can think? We answer, Yes. But our Opponents say, A stone, a stick, dust, water, iron - these are material. -they have no intelli gence. Hence matter cannotthink. True, mat ter in these particular forms cannot think; but it does not follow that it cannot in a different form, or when differently organized. A ball of snow is very white and very cold. It is material. Shall I therefore conclude that all matter must be white and cold? A piece of coal is just as material as the snow-ball and yet it is very black, just Opposite in color from the snow. Again, burn ing coal is very hot, 1ust the Opposite of the cold snow. Has. It ceased to be material? Lift that block of lead. How very heavy! N OW handle those feathers. How light! They seem to be just the opposite of each other, yet both are mat ter. One form of matter is sour, as a lemon; an other is sweet, as sugar.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a question that has long been debated by philosophers and theologians: can matter think? The author challenges the prevailing belief that the soul is immaterial and immortal, presenting a powerful argument that God can organize matter to think and reason. By drawing on examples from nature, the book demonstrates how different forms of matter possess distinct properties, such as the capacity for growth in plants or the ability to sense and act in animals. The author posits that the same principles apply to human intelligence, suggesting that the brain, through its complex organization, can be the source of thought and feeling. This book presents a thought-provoking and compelling perspective on the relationship between matter and mind, and ultimately challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of consciousness and the divine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330115763_0
