When Zombies Attack the Naturalist

You know what’s worse than beating a dead horse? Beating a dead human being that just won’t die.

Okay, okay. So the zombie fetish hasn’t quite had its fill in Hollywood just yet. However, what’s quite interesting is that zombie’s do exist. Consider: “But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.”* Isn’t it odd? We are dead. We are living. We are dead and we are living. Sounds like a zombie to me. But that’s a simple answer for the Christian. The naturalist just won’t bring himself to admit it.

So this begs the question: are we truly what the naturalist says we are? Are we truly nothing but a blob of complex grey matter, a simple intricate collection of cells and bone? Are all our logical thought processes the simple result of electrical impulses crossing over synapses? If so, how can it be that it is so complex, intricate and logical?

C.S. Lewis is quoted as having stated that we are not a body. We do not have souls. We are souls. We have bodies.

No, we cannot see souls. No, we cannot see spirits. And that is the bane of the naturalist. His sense experiences will carry him only so far. He cannot see what the super-naturalist sees. And he cannot experience what the super-naturalist experiences. But he insists we are unscientific! He thinks he is beating a dead horse.

I like to think that he’s beating a dead zombie that just won’t die. It makes me feel better….
