does your soul weigh 21 gramms

21 gramms is the weight of a humming bird,a chocolate bar or five nickels.but some say this is the weight a person looses at the time of their death,could this be the soul leaving the physical body,

it is an interesting thought,but my personal views dont accept this as possible..

from death onwards you internal body tissues,enzymes etc start to break down,the pace of which this happens depends on the individual,gasses and fluid are lost too..
lets say a person dies with an injury..the loss of a limb,muscle,tissue,body fluids are all going to present with the loss of mass weight..

its like the old fashioned belief that an adult body has approx 8 pints of blood within it..utter rubbish..for those who believe this,can you really see a 22 stone man having the same amount of blood as a 8 stone man..im sorry but the larger man would be dead..you have roughly one pint of blood to each stone you weigh.

i cant see how a person whom is weighed before and after death wont see at times some reduction..but i certainly wont agree its the soul of the person whom has left..and even worse secenarios if you weigh them after a post mortem..

I have never heard of the 21 gram theory. I think your right and it is nonesense really. Would someone put on weight if they are possessed? I think I know what is happening with America's obese population Smile

i think this theory kicked off as a result of a film,and ppl actually believed this,i have tried to argue this to many ppl in the past,even giving medical facts having been involved in post mortem examinations,and still some ppl's opinions wont budge...

Funny thing how we can measure something that isn't supposed to exist (at least that's the official scientism attitude).
And even if the sould truly exists, how can it escape without being seen or spotted by one of the many devilish instruments that researchers have wrapped for the purpose around dying persons over the past hundred years.
Having seen death firsthand and knowing how precarious and precious life is I cannot but wonder at the extraordinary lack of respect self proclaimed scientists (no matter how many BA or PhD they hold) sometimes show to dying persons or even animals.
