The Human Body Glows

Past research has shown that the body emits visible light which is more evidence that we are divine beings. This video expands on the concept of DNA both absorbing and emitting light and the energy "akin to solar matter" lodged within every living organism.

From the article:
"The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal." - LiveScience.com

Even if we emit light, this does not constitute proof that we are "divine beings". Are phosphorescent algae divine beings?

Don't ALL things have luminescence to one degree or another? If I'm not mistaken, that is a fundamental property of matter.

Matter does not emit light. It reflects light. That's why you only see color when a light is on. If the lights are off, everything turns black because nothing is reflecting light for the human eye to interpret as color.

It also doesn't mean that we're NOT divine beings.

Uhmm...let me think about it...You are plain wrong!
For starters, the human body emits radiation in the infrared frequency. While the human eye cannot detect this, it still there.

I know that. That's why I specified in the original post that it was visible light. My statement remains true whether the body emits infrared light or not. Objects reflect light, not emit. Our bodies emit light.

.

So is my statement: objects reflect & emit light. Maybe not always in the visible spectrum, but it's there.

I fail to see how this is proof that we are divine beings.

To paraphrase an earlier post; lamps emit light - are lamps divine beings?

But, regardless, it is interesting. I like how they show that the "glow" rises and falls based on our internal clocks, which is based off of our metabolic rates. I'm also interested in their melanin theory.

But, note that they never said it was visible to the naked eye: "Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive."

This means that it is so low that any chance of you seeing it without equipment is close to impossible. "Visible" yes, but not to our naked eye - we need tools to help see it.
