In this segment, we talk about the non-physical reality, such as:
* Pain is NOT Physical: Adapted from the BEL Forum at TheologyOnline.com: Pain and Sentience are Knowledge Based, and Knowledge is Not Physical! Pain is not physical. Plants do not have souls (and souls are non-material), and when you chop down a tree, it does not feel pain (a 60s sci-fi episode notwithstanding). Pain is comprehension, it is awareness, and awareness is not physical. Nerve damage can prevent someone from feeling pain from an injury, keeping the signal from reaching the brain. However, the brain itself is an organ that is unable to feel pain! When a doctor cuts into our brain matter, we do not feel pain from that. Pain is non-physical, it is awareness, which is a state of knowledge. You can program a robot to back up suddenly if it bumps into a wall, and even to yell, "Ouch." But it hasn't felt pain, because it is only made of atoms and molecules, and can have no awareness. Because pain is inherently non-physical, pain resulting from non-physical causes is dramatically more hurtful than pain resulting from physical stimuli. A paper cut on the eyeball really hurts. A father who will not look his disowned son in the eye is far more painful.
* Logic is NOT Physical: Sentience is awareness, and like other knowledge, awareness is non-physical, and does not come from a material, but from a non-physical realm. The laws of logic are NOT physical (they don't boil, have no mass, etc.), the laws of grammar are NOT physical (that the noun and verb should agree in number); knowledge is NOT physical; etc. It is amusing to listen to an atheist attempt to prove that only the physical realm exists, while using strictly non-physical tools such as language, knowledge, and logic, all of which are utterly non-material, in a fear-driven attempt to disprove the validity of anything non-physical.
* The Washington Post: This coming Monday, expect an article in the Washington Post quoting Bob Enyart and Brian Rohrbough regarding our Open Letter to Dr. Dobson.
Today's TWO Resources:
CD: If you enjoy Bob's atheism debate with Reginald Finley, you'd probably learn a lot and really have fun hearing the entire four hour debate! Call us at 800-8Enyart to order Bob Debates Atheist Reginald Finley on CD! We're also throwing in 90-minutes of additional bonus material on answering atheists! On Reggie's InfidelGuy.com website, he lists twenty-two arguments against the existence of God. We suggested to Reggie that we could avoid a wandering discussion that gets bogged down by using his list of arguments as an outline, such that he could go through the whole list, and make all twenty-two arguments as Bob responds to each. Reggie said he would rather have an unstructured discussion, which was fine with us. However, we asked a former atheist from Denver Bible Church to role play Reginald Finley in studio, to give Bob the opportunity to illustrate how a biblical worldview provides strong rebuttals to Reggie's answers! So we're including that material on the same CD, so that you can get over five hours of apologetics training learning how to respond to an atheist all on our single CD, Bob Debates Atheist Reginald Finley!
