Creationism is the belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their entirety by a supernatural deity (typically God), the existence of which is presupposed, but Creationism can also refer to origin beliefs in general, or to an alternative of traducianism, which is a doctrine about the origin of the soul, in one of the biblical uses of word to mean the immaterial aspect of man.
Traducianism means that this immaterial aspect is transmitted through natural generation along with the body, the material aspect of man. i.e. an individual’s soul is derived from the souls of the individual’s parents. This implies that only the soul of Adam was created directly by God (with Eve’s substance, material and immaterial, being taken from out of Adam), in contrast with creationism (immediate divine creation), which holds that all souls were so created.

The soul, according to many religious and philosophical traditions, is a self-aware ethereal substance unique to a particular living being. In these traditions the soul is thought to incorporate the inner essence of each living being, and to be the true basis for sentience. It is believed in many cultures and religions that the soul is the unification of ones sense of identity. In distinction to spirit which may or may not be eternal, souls are usually considered to be immortal and to exist before their incarnation in flesh.
Immortality (or eternal life) is the concept of living in physical or spiritual form for a potentially infinite length of time. What form an unending or indefinitely-long human life would take, or whether the soul possesses immortality, has been the subject of much speculation, fantasy, and debate.
Fantasy is a situation imagined by an individual or group, which does not correspond with reality but expresses certain desires or aims of its creator. But fantasy is also another name for Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, a date-rape drug. Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (4-hydroxybutanoic acid, C4H8O3) is a therapeutic drug, an illegal drug, and a naturally occurring substance found in the central nervous system, wine, beef, small citrus fruits and almost all other living creatures in small amounts.
In a medical setting, GHB is used as a general anesthetic, to treat conditions such as insomnia, clinical depression, narcolepsy, and alcoholism, and to improve athletic performance. It is also used illegally under the street names Juice or Liquid Ecstasy, either as an intoxicant, or as a date rape drug. As well, the human body’s cells naturally produce GHB. GHB is structurally related to the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate. As a drug it is used most commonly in the form of a salt. GHB is also produced as a result of fermentation and so is found in small quantities in some beers and wines.
