There is no reason to believe in unicorns, because we have not found a fossil. We might one day, and then we will know that some horse in the past had a horn. This is quite possible.As far as I know and believe there is only the here and the now; I was not alive nor did I have any perception before I came into existence as a living being, and further more I will not be alive or self aware after I'm dead and all biological processes have terminated.
Is that enough of a direct answer for you?
Quote:But the fact that there is a force or an energy, or something that animates a being, this is real, and we dont know how to measure it. We dont know why life suddenly leaves a body. There is a missing piece of the puzzle here.1. The word you're looking for is Metabolism.
2. Once you've read up on metabolism you'll have an appreciation we can measure the amount of daily energy expended by us by applying the study of Basal metabolic rate.
3. Death is understood. It is the termination of the biological functions that sustain a living organism, your consciousness being one of said functions. Look it up.
4. Proper understanding of points 1 to 3 mean there is no metaphorical puzzle, retrospectively speaking, it was a lack of knowledge or lack of desire for knowledge that was the problem.
