One cannot arrive at true knowledge by using imperfect senses to spec-

baffles the human mind and senses. There are mys cal factors at play
that cannot be explained by mere specula on and limited experimen-
ta on. We cannot speculate about something that is beyond our power

The most perplexing ques on is how did a living being so small get into

the body taking place by which a microscopic speak becomes a human

being or an elephant, a fly, fish, etc. All these phenomena that we ob-

soul. However, it is smaller than a material atom which means one can-
not see it even with the most powerful microscope. Yet, one can defi-
nitely perceive its presence because it spreads consciousness all over
the body. Compare a living body to a dead body and you will see that
