But scientists do not know many facts about the body and therefore can not answer many basic questions such as; G How the different organs of the body work? G Why a dead body can not move, when the same body was amazingly doing incredible things just before the death? G What goes out from the body which makes it totally inert and motionless immidiately after death? G Why the same atoms and molecules which are present in the body do not show life in other substances?

There is not a single peculiar or unusual atom or molecule in the human body. So what makes the living and non-living things different from each other ? Scientists will never be able to understand all such questions unless they approach the last Prophet of God. The Soul As far as soul is concerned, we have very little knowledge about it. It is because, soul is totally invisible and beyond the reach of any powerful microscope.

This is the reason that scientists do not recognize the existence of soul and declared it outside the scope of science. If we can not see or detect anything by our powerful instruments that does not mean that it does not exist. Many tiny creatures such as microscopic insects, bacteria and viruses are invisible. But after the invention of powerful microscope, we can see them now and have no doubt about their existence.

Today, majority of the ordinary people have not seen these microorganisms but still believe in their existence. It is because they trust the scientists and accept their observations. Those who do not accept the reality of soul argue that they can not understand anything of this nature. But they should realize that soul is not the only secret of nature which they cannot fully comprehend.

There is an unending list of things in the universe about which scientists have either ver y little knowledge or know nothing. Soul is just one of them. Similarly invisibility or incomprehensibility of soul is not the valid reason to deny its existence. The nature of soul is such that no scientist can detect its presence with the help of any powerful microscope or any other type of instrument. Quran and ahadith are the only source of knowledge about the soul.

That is why we say that scientists can never discover the complete picture of anything unless they accept the leadership of Prophets and Imams.
