But why then firmly believe in no afterlife, if there is no evidence for it. You guys have it a little mixed up. The burden of proof lies on the one making a claim. If you claim there is no life after death, the burden of proof would be on YOU. Since it cannot be proven, there is no reason to believe it. This is why i cannot take a stand with insufficient evidence.
Like anyone, I think it would be nice if my life went on, but I am also fully prepared for the possibility it will not.
As regards the energy. I have heard we lose 6 onces at the moment of death. Anyone know if this is true? And the point about maggots and apples and where to draw the line, I feel it would have to apply to everything or nothing, as I dont feel humans are special in any way.
If 6 ounces do dematerialize into energy and depart, how does it depart? By the copiously confirmed E=MC^2 formula 6 ounces of mass = 3.5 Megatons of energy. Is the city surrounding the dying man leveled at the moment by the release of energy comparable in magnitude to the detonation of a large hydrogen bomb?
Study basic physics diligently and you too can raise yourself by your bootstraps out of the babbling spiritualist idiothood in which you appear to be stuck at the moment.
