A Paradox...

I have recently come to a conclusion. To begin, the material body, or brain more importantly, is simply a system. It is a unique system, but in the nature of any system, it simply does what it is designed to do, whether that be by natural selection or any other means. That design is to perceive the material world, and do what it takes to survive and reproduce, just like any other life on the planet.

It can be easily assumed that the nature of the human system is really no different than the nature of a computer, or biological robot, comprised of organic parts. If it is true that we are only organic robots, then a few questions can be raised:

1. How are we aware of our nature?

2. Is the source of this awareness a soul, somehow apart from our material nature, and yet observing our material experience?

If the answer to the second question is yes, then it answers the first question.

Assuming the answer of yes, the conclusion is actually somewhat of a paradox if there are no holes in my assumptions, and that is:

We are organic robots, we are aware of this, and the source of this awareness is a soul, but to be aware of the soul, it has to be observable to the organic robot, which is impossible, as the the organic robot can only perceive the material world.

So by virtue of the paradox, a soul is impossible
