Wrong! Right way: I know I am able to think, I simply can because I can.
I didn't say that, I said I know why I am able to think, not why I am thinking. A small difference, so it was correct after all.

Hi, Hmmn, yes to me, the soul is your eternal concsiousness or your own personality. Quote:
Why the "chemicals" mix, is probably more a matter of chemistry
Yes, but the key word here is PROBABLY.
But actually nobody can say for sure.
Interesting though, you might be thinking: RAN IS CRAZY!
or maybe thinking:
WHO CAN BELIEVE IN THE ETERNAL OR A SOUL ?!
But whatever your ideas, the fact is that science cannot explain WHY you think and have thoughts.
I know the chemicals mix, but nobody knows why.
Now that is only because science cannot explain the supernatural. It's great for physical stuff, but horrible at spirit stuff. Yes?
It's a funny world that we live in, lol

There's no why. "Why" is a human kind of question, something only a human can come up with. Life needs no explanation. You don't go asking "Why does this stone exist" either, do you? A stone is a stone and we take it as it is. As a stone. No one asks: "WHY is that stone?" Everyone seems to be pretty satisfied with the fact that dead matter is nothing special, but as soon as it comes to life, we begin asking "why".
Plase read my posting in the "Science and creation"-Thread. I think that nature had thousands or billions (or infinite) tries on life. One of these tries produced humans. Humans tend to ask "why?", and that's it. Sheeps tend to say "Baaaah", and that's it.
Humans are one of nature's products, and nature will not hesitate to answer some of our questions. Instead it will keep going on producing life, changing life, destroying life. Question is not "Why does nature produce life?", because the answer would only be "Because it can." And if something is possible, it will happen. And if it's impossible, maybe it'll take a bit longer to happen.
