Would you like to be immortal?

One more absurd idea about the end of the universe.
Actually it may not sound absurd from an atheistic point of view considering that nobody create and control the universe but it is quite absurd from a theistic point of view.
Why the creator would let the universe go to the dogs after billions of years that exist and with all his creation on?
Beside considering that the universe (from a theistic point of view) is a creation more creations can be made so life will last in other universes or dimensions for ever and ever.  Lightbulb

Not only that but let us remember that energy can not be destroyed no matter what and considering that energy and consciousness always go hand in hand the end of the universe can not happen ever. Lightbulb

That really captures the gist quite well.  To us he may seem to be spinning pointlessly in place and looking a little absurd doing it, but from his perspective, it is all about adjusting the consciousness.  Bet you never thought of that, did you Stimbo?

1. nope once again the end of the universe has nothing to do with atheism

2. Nowhere does theism imply there is no end to the universe

3. There is nothing absurd about the universe ending it's in fact very rational

4. The idea that someone doesn't control the universe nowhere implies and end to the universe nor that it's going to the dogs (whatever that means in terms of the universe)

Re #3: Yeah, a day ends. A winter ends. Planets and suns end. A galaxy can collapse on itself. So why not a universe? It is only the cosmos which is eternal, leastwise to pissants like we humans.

Nothing end whatever.
Energy turn into a different form of energy and with that the consciousness.

I'll pass on the immortality. At least then I know there's a day coming when I don't have to listen to Rik's "arguments" anymore.

I got bad news for you Fat.  Banghead
Rik or not Rik there always will be somebody who will remind you that you are wrong.
It will not even be a human.
It will be your super conscious mind that will try to wake you up from that slumber that last millions of years since you exist in primordial form of existences.

Now I got a good news.
The day you will wake up then you will understand how the whole system works and how LR was correct. Lightbulb

"Creation" had nothing to do with anybody's imaginary friend. 

And you didn't read the article, so you just screwed the pooch with that comment about energy. PLUS you have no evidence that energy and consciousness "always go hand in hand".
