No doubt that humans have consciousness. Usually I hear theists say souls are more than mere consciousness, though.
Quote:what evidence of consciencous is there after one dies?So far, absolutely none, since death is the definitional opposite of consciousness.
Quote:Just because there is no proof of consciencous after one dies does it mean one could not have possiably lived?I don't understand this. Are you asking if because there is no evidence of consciousness after death, that means that it is impossible?
Having never died, I can't say. From from a biological viewpoint, it is very difficult to understand how this could happen (except by a magical, goddidit argument), since consciousness is a product of brain chemistry. Many people are alive but not conscious, adding to that difficulty. I can render you unconscious by tweaking your brain chemistry. Maybe a different word than "consciousness"is needed.
