What do you believe about souls? There are many very different doctrines taught in the world today concerning souls that are believed to be in all humans. By most a soul is believed to be something that is wholly apart from the person that they believe a soul to be in; most believe that a soul will exist forever without the person; it will never be dead, therefore, a soul cannot be resurrected from the dead; most believe it will always live either in Heaven or Hell even if there is no resurrection. A deathless soul leaving a person at the death of the person makes it impossible for Christ to have given His life to save that soul from death; if a soul had immortality it would already have life and could never not have life; all Christ could do is give it a reward or punish it.

UNCONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY AND THE RESURRECTION ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT GOSPELS Galatians 1:6-9: There is a dividing line between unconditional immortality and conditional immortality so sharp that two are completely different Gospels as far apart as night and day. Both cannot be true. One is a "delusion" [2 Thessalonians 2:11] "A working of error" [American Standard Version]. Do you believe a lie? Unconditional immortality is very different from anything preached in Paul''s day [Galatians 1:6]. It takes away a need for the death of Christ, and the need of the resurrection.

What is a man? Are all persons born with immortal souls in them, or do only the saved put on immortality at the resurrection? Is a person a three part being, an animal body with both a soul and a spirit that one or both will live after the body is dead? This is one of the most important questions of all time. It has more influence on our conception of our nature, our view of life in this world, and our view of life after death than any other question.

Network navigation constitutes a fundamental human behavior: in order to make use of the information and resources around us, we constantly explore, disentangle, and browse networks such as the Web, social networks, academic paper collections, and encyclopedias, among others. Studying the navigation patterns humans employ is important because it lets us better understand how humans reason about complex networks and lets us build more intuitively navigable and human-friendly information systems. In this dissertation, we study how humans navigate information networks by analyzing tens of thousands of navigation traces harvested from the human-computation game Wikispeedia, where participants are asked to navigate between two given Wikipedia articles in as few clicks as possible. We first shed light on human navigation strategies by describing the anatomy of typical human navigation traces. We then build on these results to develop models and tools for predicting the targets of human paths from only the first few clicks, learning to navigate automatically, and recommending the insertion of important missing hyperlinks. These are useful building blocks for designing more intuitively navigable information spaces and tools to help people find information. The navigation traces collected through the Wikispeedia game have the unique property of being labeled with users'' explicit navigation targets. In general, however, humans need not have a precise target in mind when navigating the Web. Records of such navigation traces are abundant in the logs kept by any web server software. We demonstrate the value of passively collected web server logs by presenting an algorithm that leverages such raw logs in order to improve website hyperlink structure. The resulting system is deployed on Wikipedia''s full server logs at terabyte scale, producing links that are clicked 12 times as frequently as the average link added by human Wikipedia editors.
