The question of whether or not human beings have a soul is a controversial question between various disciplines of study. Science and religion have conflicted in answering the question. Religions provide solutions to the questions by arguing that human beings have a soul that gives them life. On the other hand, science explains phenomenon using facts and has not found a basis to explain what a soul is and whether it exists. The beliefs that different religions hold argue that the soul counts as the essence of a living organism, including a human being. They argue that the death of a person exemplifies the removal of the soul from the body of a human being, leading to an end to their life. This is going to argue that human beings have the soul and that the soul is the very essence of existence of human beings.

A soul can be referred to as the spiritual essence of human beings. It has been agreeable that human beings have a mind, which they use to think, and a physical body, which they use for physical work. The centre of controversy has been the spiritual aspect. While some individuals find it hard to believe that human beings have a soul, it is difficult sometimes t make them understand since the soul is not a physical object. Rather, it is an aspect of living that human beings cannot ignore since the early times. It is important for the people who have found it hard to believe a soul exists to think of how people experience emotions. It is also very paramount to consider why people feel satisfied when they worship the being that they believe. The other question that these people should ask themselves is the part of the body that is excited by worship. While people agree that there is a gain in satisfaction when people worship their being, they have refused to accept that the soul exists. If the soul may not exist, there would be no connection between a human being and the supernatural. Every form of existence requires order for easy functioning. Since human beings are the most complex of all organisms, they must function under a force that is greater than them. This force exists in the form of the world of the spirits. A connection between human beings and these forces is achieved through the soul, or the spiritual aspects of human beings.

Human beings cannot gain satisfaction by just interacting physically. They control the whole of the creation in the world. They too have controlled other human beings. Humans thus require an outside means for their control. The only way communication can happen to human beings through this external means is through the soul. The force that is beyond the physical body of human beings cannot interact with the physical. It only interacts with the spiritual aspect. This spiritual aspect is what constitutes the soul.

Human beings also experience a feeling that there is more that exists in them than just the physical body and the mind. This evident through the many questions human beings ask concerning when a soul gets into the body of human beings. Some of the postulations that have been put forward to explain this have made human beings to believe more that the soul exists. For example, many religions relate a soul to life. They argue that life begins at conception, and this is the when the soul comes into a human being. They also argue that the soul leaves when life comes to an end, which is the time when a human being dies. When an individual dies, the physical body remains intact. The mind can be likened with the brain tissues which remain intact. However, a person no longer exists, because part of him has departed. The part that has departed is the soul. This acts to prove that the soul exists and that human beings have a soul.

An argument posed about the way people use their first person can be used to explain that people believe in the existence of a soul and that human beings have a soul. This is amazing because even people who claim a soul does not exist use this language, showing clearly that their physical body is different from the essence of the spirit. For example, when people are talking, they usually say: “This is my body”. When this sentence is analyzed, it shows the difference between owner of the body, and the body. If there is no aspect existing separately, people wouldn’t refer to “my body” while referring to themselves. The reference to the body appears to have been made by a separate person from the body, probably the soul. Considering this with an object, people usually say, “This is my car” when referring to their car. It shows two separate things: the owner, and the car. In the first sentence where the person says, “this is my body”, it clearly shows the existence of an “inner person”, who is invisible, and this translates to be the soul.

The concerns and worries that bother human beings are confirmations that there is more to a human being than just the observable physical body and the mind. For example, any people tend to fear darkness. The mind and the physical body cannot fear, since they provide solutions for challenges. Another example is when people watch some movies, and they experience some fears. The fears appear to come from some external force as a result of watching a movie. These two scenarios point to the existence of extra force in a human being, which influences their lives. This is the essence of the soul.

In conclusion, this essay has argued that human beings have a soul. It has considered that an inner, invisible aspect of a human being exists, and this is what departs when people die. The essay has also considered communication with the spiritual realms, and the connection becomes possible only through the soul. It has also considered the essence of the first person pronunciations and concludes that human beings have a soul.
