Death/Dying

Humans are very intelligent and skilled monkeys.
When the chemistry and electrics in our bodies stop working its good bye for eternity.

I imagine the last 30s of life before a natural brain death are like a dream/possibly a nightmare depending on the pain you have.

In that respect it could be scary....
The only other thing is worrying about leaving your loved ones behind and the hurt they will feel.

Good lord I'm 40 tomorrow....
I guess I'll know for real in 40 years for sure...max... Probably less.


I was reading and article the other day that was talking about how some scientists believe they have discovered a soul, but you have to go down the quantum level. When the neurons stop firing the body releases quantum particles, they also say these particles are drawn back in if someone is revived.

Not sure on the science behind it or the factual evidence to support it, but it is an interesting idea.
 
I believe in the afterlife. Think about it. Assuming the human race survives they are going to start resurrecting people at some point. For the dead it will be like no time has passed at all.

Die, wake up 4000 years in the future where everything is nice.

lol!
Speak for yourself bud. I ain't no monkey ;)
That whole 'theory' poop around man coming from monkeys is greatly flawed. I believe in evolution overall but not in something that still to this day can not be evidenced without huge unexplainable gaps.

Makes me laugh when I see people with so much faith (ironically enough) in science explaining it all when science in its current form can't even account for 5% of our own universe let alone owt else!

Faith is just another form of denial or a crutch that allows you to blindly accept another man having power and control over you.

Having faith also allows you to pass the buck on some big issues and allows you to accept better when circumstances are worse off.

Faith and religions also allow you access to a social circle or community of like-minded motivated people, good for a medievil community to organise defence and feeding of their population amongst a broadly uneducated populous.

I find your lack of faith disturbing
 
With being in my 60's one assumes I closer to death than most here. Rather than waste money on a funeral or cremation I am fully signed up to my local School of Biomedical Sciences to do with as they want.

We didn't descend from monkeys, we have a shared ancestor with monkeys. And physics and biology are completely separate sciences.

I noticed that religious people now jump straight for "Who made the big bang?" since scientists don't know for certain exactly how the universe began (the God of the gaps as usual). They can no longer argue against evolution since it's irrefutable now with what we know about DNA and from studying various species for the past 2 hundred odd years. Even that's been commandeered with "Err...it was guided evolution!".
 
It's that 'you'll never see that person again' I can't still get my head around when people die... :-/ their just, not here anymore...

Think having kids help, knowing there's a part of you that still lives on.

It's crazy, isn't it? I'm still trying to get it through my head that one day I will die. I mean we've all been not alive for billions of years but the mind still boggles.


It's just that all of those hope/dreams/memories/everything will cease, the ability to run, watch TV, laugh, see friends... it just won't be possible as we know for a fact that the body and brain will die. Even in the best case scenario that consciousness does exist then you still won't be the same and even if re-incarnation does exist it'll never be the same.

I guess there's nothing any of us can do about it really, so it's probably wise not to think about it too much :-\

Having said that some of the near death experiences sound pretty crazy and some of those people say that they no longer fear death due to what they felt.

Over the last 12 months I've been to 14 funerals and known a a few more who have died but couldn't get to the funeral. What is also worrying is that all of them were between 50 & 65. I used to work on a very large factory with an ageing workforce so most are from there.

Everything dies it has to, you cannot have life without death as without death life would have no meaning! ;)

I seen a post above about quantum particles, that's what basically is our consciousness, a quantum entanglement of thought and energy.

When you die the entanglement just untangles and is reenergized into another quantum process., I think? :D

Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Roughneck. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fort-...

So because we haven't absolute knowledge of the entire universe, you believe what a warlord was told "by God" centuries ago.

I just got back from watching book of Mormon, very funny btw totally recommend.

The possibility of God existing is even more unlikely than all evolution theory's combined.

It's nice that people's lives are so empty they need to join a religious club or are indoctrinated at birth, more than likely.

Still whatever makes you ultimately happy, who am I to argue?

In fact if an adult makes an informed choice at age 18 if they will follow a religion then more power to them, even a conversion from one, or npne to another. Unless for obvious material gains.
