Souls aren't built of stone

I watched House tonight. I can't really say i watch the show, because that was my 2nd time.. But it got me thinking about life. The summer for me i think gets me into a mode where everything is material. I don't spend nearly as much time around people as i do during the school year.. and i think that it plays quite a toll on me mentally. House was dead for a while during this episode and he saw nothing and remembered nothing and so concluded that there was nothing more.

If we came from nothing.. wouldn't we only be material. Humans have to be more than material. feelings and emotions are not material. If evolution with no creator was only in plants i think i could believe it. But creatures have another side to them. We can think, see, smell, feel, taste, and hear... Humans even have the ability to reason. We can step outside of ourselves and play ourselves in another setting.. we can imagine.

The last two weeks of school i spent some time disecting a pig. a lifeless pig. What is life? What is a soul?
