All we can say for sure is that if a

which believe that the baby acquires a spirit or

outside the womb.
We can say this for sure? How about humans like all other animals
are pure
meat. What we call the soul and what early people called elan

mind or the little version of me who sits inside my head at a
really big

the way has to
have an even smaller version of me inside its head and so forth

human brain
experiencing itself.
Or perhaps all the 'souls' play musical chairs while we sleep and we
wake up with a different one each day :->
If pigs could fly we could bottle their farts and use them to build a
