Second law of thermodynamics: you cannot start the machine if the energy hasn't been input. MrSteve, somebody must have started your cog to turn. If we trace that back to the past when whole universe started, someone had to turn the cog because system cannot be started by itself.

Brus, We don't know what made the universe start, we don't know where the energy came from, nothing has been found in this department to my knowledge,

That doesn't mean "therefore magical sky-daddy" that means that we don't know.

Assuming magical sky-daddy is simply making an assumption since you cannot prove it with hard facts.

Anyway Back on topic, I won't get to play the game on release D= When I get out of bootcamp you guys better not spoil anything for me >.<

I'll have so many CS's to play with and new people to get to know when the influx of newbies come around.

Thanks Dubz; that's pretty much what I was going to say

We could argue to the cows come home on the existence of God/The universe's origins, so we'll just agree to disagree

As for being sliced in half, it's all well and good saying that it's not you NOW, but I'm pretty sure people who have experienced similar situations feel that they've lost a large portion of themselves

I believe we are the sum of all our parts. Take this for example.

Human sexual urges are driven by hormones and their sexual organs. This is where the need to 'procreate' derives. Those feelings and urges are part of your mental makeup or losely put, 'soul'. Most people like to feel horny. They like to have sex. That's part of their personality, what makes them, them.

If you were to lose those organs and those needs, thoughts and emotions no longer exist, are you not fundamentally changed mentally by losing part of your physical self? Is your mind and soul not changed? Are you still totally you without a driving part of your emotional self?
