Revere the God with Spirit
It is well known that our bodies, including brains, are made of cells, molecules, atoms, and other elemental particles such as electron.
In other words, our bodies are composed of atoms like every material in this world. There are only 118 or so types of atoms in this universe, including hydrogen and oxygen that constitute water if chemically combined. But electrons work to combine and bond atoms to one another to make molecules, cells, and materials.
These physical entities have no minds. Carbon and oxygen have no minds, and carbon dioxide (CO2) has also no mind. Hydrogen and oxygen have no minds, and thus water (H2O) has no minds. Most importantly electrons, flux of which is an electric current, have no minds.
But each of our brain is made of 15 billion cells, each of which is made of one 1000 trillion atoms. But they all have no minds. Yet, our brains have minds. The most significant physical work of our brains is based on electrons and thus electric currents, although these currents are very weak such as 100 nano-ampere, while charging to an ordinary smart phone uses 2 A. (Nano means one billionth or 10^-9.) And this energy of electric currents has no minds.
While being made of all these materials and energy without minds, our brains have minds or generate minds. If any parts or components of an entity have no minds, the the entity should have no minds. Therefore, an artificial robot, even equipped with AI software, cannot have a mind, if the God does not give it to the robot. It means that there is something that generates a mind in each of our brains. And that something cannot be seen. Or that something is not a worldly matter.
We have to admit that there is the God, Heaven, and the hell. Logically we have to admit existence of the spiritual world that is superior to the material world. Then, it is not difficult to think that something from the spiritual world enters our brains to generate minds. This something may be a soul or a spirit.
In this context, it is thought that when we die, our spirits leave our brains with our minds and get into the spiritual world. And as Christ Jesus said, if we have faith in God and Christ Jesus, our minds will live forever in the spiritual world with our spirits. But if the God does not accept our minds, what will happen to our minds?
The God created this material universe not from nothing but from vacuum energy. So, it is thought that the God created our minds in our material brains from not cells, molecules, atoms, and other elementary particles but from spirits coming from the spiritual world.
Christ Jesus really said that the God was spirit and people had to revere the God with their spirits.
(In addition, there is a possibility that a robot might be given a mind if the God wishes, when its brain meets certain physical conditions.)
