"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
"Your hands shaped me and made me. Will You now turn and destroy me? Remember that You molded me like clay. Will You now turn me to dust again? Did You not clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in Your providence watched over my spirit." Job 10:8-12

that man has a Soul:
In examining the human form, we find that it consists of a number of perfectly distinct organs and mechanisms, each marvelous in itself and each united to others, and all bound into one body by a nervous system, which, found in every part, controls every part, and makes each do the bidding of the common sensorium, the brain.
We find also that it is a physiological law that no organ or function is self-acting; it must be set in action by influences outside of itself.
The lungs, perfect in their pneumatic apparatus, cannot act without air;
the heart, admirable in its hydraulic properties, cannot pulsate without blood.

The optic nerve must be excited by light;
the ear, with its wonderful acoustic principles, hears only as the delicate organs are stimulated by sound.
the ear, with its wonderful acoustic principles, hears only as the delicate organs are stimulated by sound.
But, when we come to the brain we find no more self-acting power there than in the organs named; its structure is merely automatic; it can display no phenomena of itself; it requires an agent outside of itself to excite its action — just as much as the lungs air, the eye light, or the ear sound. And now the question arises:
What is that agent? We answer boldly, the immortal soul! But whence, and what is, this soul?
