Just now I had the most intriguing argument ever!
It started with discussing about my short term memory problems with my friend...We spoke about vampires,mermaids,hypnotism,and everything under the sun...Miracles and magic and scriptures...I cant remember the rest(See i told u.Memory problems..!)
Thats when we came up with this question...WHEN DOES A FETUS GET A SOUL??
My friend was of the opinion that it is said in the scriptures that after 4 months of conception!I had to argue on that!!ON WHAT BASIS???Why 4 months??
This is what we came up with ...
-----> The Soul moves in and out of the fetus right up until birth. After birth it is locked into the idea of the body until the death frees it from the idea of bondage .
----->Well it depends from religion to religion. Hindu's believe that the soul enters the womb at the time of baby showering (sreemantham)
----->In Islaam it is believed 90 days after conception, the soul enters the fetus.
------>When the heart has its first tick. From then on, the heart has to continue ticking; until death, when it stops doing so, for ever. Medical science is reported to be still researching for the 'cause' of the first movement of the heart.
------->the christians believe that the soul enters at the moment of conception.
-------->When the brain is formed

Well its like "What came first?Chicken or the egg???"Some questions just dont have answers....

if u have any views lemme kknow.
