I have a theory on evolution?

Question

What if the human body is an empty cycle and we are really just orbs who use these veichles for experience and when we are born it is known that babies are brain dead for few weeks so I think when these babies ie all of us become mature enough we possess these bodies use them and when the body grows old and dies we leave as orbs wait for another birth then occupy another host does this theory make sense ?

Answer 1

I would say that your theory sounds like reincarnation.

Answer 2

In contrary to the publicly known word "theory" doesn't the scientific theory mean a guess. An idea, a guess or better, a claim would be a hypothesis. A theory would be a proven hypothesis. Also, prove is a far more powerful term than for instance in law. A prove is not only swept away. So, proves are actually final. That's a problem, by the way, because we did correct proves before by finding out mistakes and therefore realising it was never proven. But evolution is one of these things that is actually proven quite well by fossils, embryology and genetics.



So that's why you are proposing a hypothesis and not a theory.



After that's clear, let's take a look on your hypothesis. You are taking the premiss that babies are brain dead for quite some time. That's actually not true. Their brains are fully operational. They just need some time to learn. This can be easily shown by EEG. Your premiss is wrong.



After your premiss is corrected, let's take a look at the rest. The body as an empty vessel for the soul? Okay, if that's the case, the sould can be harmed by a knive. Since brain surgery can cause any number of damage, like amnesia or hallucination, that knive must have hurt the soul. If that's the case, we should all be brain dead. So many violent death with brain injuries. Our souls must be so damaged that we can't even think straight anymore. But that's obviously not the case, so souls can't be damaged by knives. But since we can cause damage with a knive to our behaviour patterns, we can't be controlled by that soul.



Therefore, your hypothesis is falsified. That means, it's proven wrong. But nice try. Try to structure your hypothesis into premiss, claim and possible prove next time, okay?

Answer 3

One glaring problem with your little theory (more like wishful thinking), is that even you admit that you start out brain dead and it is your "life experiences" that make you. A person=the compilation of their life experiences, so imaginary souls and orbs are ridiculous. You weren't the same person yesterday as you are today and you won't be the same in 10 years. You are a constantly changing person throughout your life, so how can there be a you beforehand?

Answer 4

Wtf?

Answer 5

Not even to a Christian.

Answer 6

Sounds more like plain insanity to me.

Answer 7

Interesting theory, it's like reincarnation. My questions though, how do the orbs survive outside the body? How do they get to the next body? What happens when multiple orbs attempt to occupy the same body? How does this explain the surplus of life on earth? Going from millions to billions, more orbs suddenly appear? If so, how? What would these orbs be made of? How would the orbs know where to go to occupy a new body. I could come up with more questions, but I think it proves that this theory doesn't really work. Scientifically, how does the neutrons in your brain firing around that makes you who you are suddenly transform to orbs that leave and enter bodies? How would it work? Interesting idea for a book or story maybe, but as a theory on evolution, I'm afraid not.

Answer 8

that sounds more like a theory of stupid

Answer 9

no this makes no sense.

Answer 10

That is not really a theory about Evolution. That is more of a theory of Metaphysics.

Answer 11

Tell that to a Athesit
