The Difference Between Living and Non Living Things

Q: Ok....so...if the only thing that makes us alive is our spirit down inside an atom, how do U know a rock was never alive? Maybe they still are.

A: Rocks are not considered to be a living thing... as they lack DNA/cellular entities.

There is a difference between the basic atom and that which constitutes the cells of living things. We have given these structures a basic name however each of them is unique...

"The atoms that make up proteins, DNA, and RNA are considered ions. An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom a net positive or negative electrical charge. All ions are charged, which means that like all charged objects they are: attracted to opposite electric charges (positive to negative, and vice versa), repelled by like charges, and when moving, travel in trajectories that are deflected by a magnetic field."

It is the function/interactions of these entities that generate our consciousness... and rather not the basic constituents alone. Just as an arm or a leg alone cannot result in a fully functioning human being..

But regardless of whether an entity is considered living (having consciousness/spirit) or non living (lacking consciousness/spirit) the fact that all atoms are made up of that which is invisible substantiates the notion that "what is seen is not made of that which is visible" (which is a verse in the New Testament that was written long before the development of the electron microscope).

Which would mean that we exist in a spiritual realm as well as corporeal.

Q: But the spirit is deep down in the atom. And dna is much much bigger than atoms. So the requirement for life is dna and having atoms. But how does the spirit know that its in an atom on some ones butt and not in an atom on the rock. If rocks have atoms and atoms have spirits and spirits cause afterlife then rocks have afterlife. And if U have afterlife U have to live. So rocks are alive.

A: Lol you can't use that logic.

The atoms within a living thing are capable of generating consciousness when those in a non living thing are not.

I think we should blame science for this for not properly making the distinction.

You should research the Electromagnetic Field Theory of Consciousness.

Q: Rocks are made of ions. And electrons are bounded to their atom by the nuclear forces not magnetic fields as magnetic fields have nowhere near enough strength to hold the atom together.

IM really sorry if U feel like ur pounding on a grindstone here but I still can't understand why the isotopes that make up the ions that make up your body are different than the ones that make up a rock. .  Not to be rude but until U can give me a reason that the atoms im made of and the ones a rock is made up are different, im not going to read any of the toilet literature you've provided.

A: I'm not sure what literature you are referring to in that first message.. that's not what the Electromagnetic Field Theory of Consciousness states.

Rocks may be made of ions but they have a unique chemical composition. They consist of different minerals which consist of a variation of elements which are quite different from that of humans.

For example, the chemical composition for the compound acetamide is CH3CONH2 and the chemical composition for acanthite is Ag2S.

You could probably memorize those.

However, the human body doesn't really have one of these.. because the human body contains several million different chemicals existing as compounds, elements, and free ions.

And, again, rocks are classified as non living because they do not contain cells/DNA. The atoms that make up these cellular entities are not the same as those that exist outside of a cell (the smallest unit of life) because they do not manifest the same entities. Just as a puzzle piece by itself is only one of the necessary counterparts that complete the puzzle and as such the puzzle piece cannot play it's role without all the necessary counterparts. Atoms function in the same way. They work together to sustain life in organisms classified as living in a different way and composition than that of those considered non living.

Molecules absorb specific frequencies that are characteristic of their structure and can be distinguished by infrared spectroscopy. Scientists may have given the atoms within living and non living organisms the same label because they are made of the same substance but they are not the same entity just as all puzzle pieces are given the same label however they all have differing positions and shapes to sustain that which they form and they are individualized to that which they form in that one puzzle piece cannot be substituted into another and form the same thing nor can it form that which is contrary to what it was formed to form.

Q: So the atoms themselves are the same just arranged differently?

A: Yes.

Picture it like this, twins may look exactly alike physically but they are not exactly alike because they have a unique character that causes them to act differently.

It's the same with atoms.

Q: So the spirit is In our atoms but not rocks atoms even though the actual atoms are the same. Why.

A: Because they are only the same ostensibly. The atoms in rocks do not induce the characteristics of that which constitutes the spirit (life) of living things.

The atoms of both living and non living things are composed of that which is invisible but that doesn't mean that which is invisible must be alive as only living things are alive.

In other words, the rock may be a manifestation of an entity that is not necessarily alive yet has an intangible as well as a palpable form.

Since we have a spirit it would make sense that all of that which we see in the corporeal would also exist in an intangible state.

Q: So.......pretty much you believe that once I die I then go to some sort of afterlife. Like......what. What's the afterlife. And so rocks are there too?

A: Probably. 

I would imagine there would be rocks there.

And trees.

And rivers.

Otherwise we would just be surrounded by nothing.
