Here, have this on me. You may learn something :)
OK - here *passes points back*
Yes but this is nothing to do with atheism. We need to rest our bodies to gain energy. All animals sleep. Also whilst we are sleeping our brains sort our days experiences and shut down to regenerate. A few people have a rare condition where they do not sleep and they are all hopelessly psychotic - seeing and hearing things that are not there,memory problems and extreme mood swings. I once did not sleep for three nights because of intense pain from a kidney infection and I hallucinated and saw the TV cables turn into snakes.
I thought I read somewhere that it's when we sleepwhy is sleep necessary that we transfer our thoughts and experiences from short-term memory to long-term memory.
Then again, how should I know, and what's the theistic explanation?
Sleep is hard to understand, but we haved linked sleep to many things. Sleep is most likely associated with lack of energy, stress, and more.
It's necessary to eliminate the waste products that build up during waking hours...imagine an internal combustion engine with no way to vent exhaust.
Hell, I don't think ANYONE can.
Even less understood, is the need to dream; in this area, the sacred has more knowledge than the secular.
It's a biological need to slow our metabolism down, replenish our Seratonin levels and heal.
Since I'm not a sleep experwhy is sleep necessaryt, not really. Why, does "I don't know" mean "sky daddy did it" or "therefore it's magic"?
yes. many theists probably could, also. it is an evolutionary adaptation.
I think everyone can. Your body needs to rest! It's obvious.
First explain what the biblical reason for sleep is.
I believe it would be the same reasons why sleep is necessary for theists.
"Not believing in god" does not make us experts on the human body.
Kinda like a machine it can't run forever it needs time to cool down
Wrong section. You need Health.
it makes you strong
if there were a God, why didn't he make it so we didn't need to sleep?
