Science PROVES the Existence of the Soul (Here’s How)

I am SO excited to share this episode with your guys today! We’re bringing back Fr. Robert Spitzer, a Catholic priest, scientist and author to talk about the soul. How do we know it exists? Is it just some concept Christianity made up? How do we know the soul exists?

Fr. Robert and I dig into how Plato and Aristotle and even cultures BEFORE the ancient Greeks knew that a soul exists, why monkeys and other animals don’t have souls, and how the fascinating data on near-death experiences ties in perfectly with Catholic theology.

And as always, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you never miss an episode of the Chris Stefanick Show!

I had an NDE in 1980 during a traumatic childbirth. Fr. Spitzer described everything perfectly and even validated a couple of things that I've never told anyone. It's still difficult for me to fully articulate what an absolutely amazing experience it was. It was also the beginning of my long, slow conversion to Catholicism (I was raised Mormon). I was baptized at Easter Vigil 2024 - yep, that feeling of awe is still there!

I had a head-on collision and suffered serious head and other bodily injuries (21+ facial fractures from eyes down), but miraculously no brain injury despite a serious nasal fracture as well. This happened 38 years ago. I almost? died in ICU and experienced a wonderful experience of ‘floating’ peacefully thru a beautiful white crystal-like tunnel holding my 22 week gestation baby toward what I perceived as my grandmother and father who passed away earlier along with another masculine and powerful being I could only identify as Divine. Upon reaching out to show my baby boy to them, they reached out to hold him. I was then told it wasn’t my time and I needed to turn around and go back. I so didn’t want to. However, immediately upon turning around, I became more joyful than I had ever been in my life and despite great struggles in the months ahead, continued to enjoy a sense of peace and joy that was above it all. Life here has brought some painful and difficult experiences which have made maintenance of this joy wain but although no one has ever asked me while under a polygraph I am clear that I am joyfully ready formoving on from this material world. God Be with you both!

CS Lewis put it well in his book Surprised by Joy. He had a moment of infinite desire and realized later in life only the infinite itself can impart an infinite desire within us

Fr. Spitzer is a sweetheart, funny and a genius! I truly enjoy his words (although sometimes I need to rewind a couple of times!). He is so wise and gentle. Thanks Chris for introducing me to him in your podcasts!

[Graymars]

Chris - I love your talks with Fr. Spitzer, please keep inviting him on!

[pattiharrison]

Love Father Spitzer and I believe his words. He is a man of God. He can explain even the most complex puzzles and it becomes understandable. Thanks for having him as your guest.

over 40 years ago, we had a priest who gave talks at our church about Near Death experiences and it interested me then and this talk was more satisfying to me to hear these words again and Fr. Spitzer was so charming

Thank you for the excellent discussion.

[Peggy_Lyons-tusj]

I agree with all these points, and I loved this talk!

[Denario]

Thank you for this wonderful discourse. I believe it is only a matter of time before science proves the existence of the soul, undeniably.

[Gpacharlie]

We get to watch the happiest guy interview
the smartest guy.
This should be interesting.

[swill]

Wow, I mean wow!!! Thank you for this Chris. Makes me very proud to be a MOJ.

[barbcorr]

Loved the discussion, but having lost three if my children to suicide, I was saddened by hearing of their place. I feel they were very ill in that moment and God knew that.

[toddchaddon]

This was an amazing talk! I would love to dive deeper with Fr. Spitzer on this topic, especially as to how these experiences correlate to Catholic Doctrine, ie, do children who die in utero without baptism go to Heaven or to limbo? Also, Christ himself said many are called, few are chosen, meaning many don't make it to heaven. Wow, there is so much more to talk about in this regard. Thanks, Chris for putting this together, and maybe you could have some deeper discussions with Father on this subject in the future.

Darryl Passow (he is on YouTube now, has his own channel) has talked about having a negative NDE where he saw Hell, repented and come back to Jesus.
