Death is transition from having been alive to not being alive. It's a one way street. First there wasn't a you, then there is, later there won't be. There won't be you again after that.(July 10, 2014 at 9:00 pm)Jenny A Wrote: Life after death is a separate question from is there a god. That I grant you. But there's no evidence of life after death. Human consciousness is physically tied to the brain. Lose one, you lose the other.
The impossibility of nothing is a red herring. The atoms I was composed of won't disappear when I die, but they won't be functionally me either. Many things have come and gone to on to be other things: planets, mountains, stars, animals, trees. The atoms are still around but the shape and function are gone forever.
O there is plenty lol. Before you were born how were you? Dead. And now you are? Alive.
It doesn't matter how you put it. The state of being before being born and after dying are identical.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
