We can watch and record death, we can reproduce it. We can measure the composition of a body, the environment around it, and see where things go. We can monitor activity in the brain, how it relates to the environment around it, and how a sense of self is created by the machine. Finally we can monitor the cease of brain function, and subsequent death. If someone has a belief that violates any of the observable, reproducible, falsifiable evidence..no worries, show the evidence in support of your proposition. If it is not sufficient, guess what.....you can believe it if you like, but it aint real. Non-existence is not mysterious.But i asked this what is that moment to me when i should so die to you. That moment i want described with observation. That is the mystery or do you know this moment in which the brain stops working and what was is no longer. This to the person or to all, for we are all humans, that this has happened to.

Wouldn't that make someone uber-christian by the doctrine of faith alone. I mean, faith against all, faith in spite of your own knowledge..gotta be the fast ticket to heaven, you'd probably get lifted away like Ezekiel.I have the bible, if there was no Bible than i would not believe. I can not offer evidence of God's existence but by the testimony of the bible in which you all ready believe is not true. But as i see you are just trying to justify yourself with proof of God. Why not believe in God, the God in the Bible who says i am saved if i so choose to ask, why not ask? For if God came to you and said believe would that not be the elimination of choice and said character. Or should acknowledgement of him come throughout the way we live our life. The truth be it we know the claim of God and you will deny it and do what "pleases" you or accept it and let it be the truth you hope to follow. This is such great a difference, these two characters and ways of life. This perplexes me to notice the differences and wonder why? To ponder the reasons of such people with the actions of there life and character not there mere choice proclaimed on a forum.
