Wow! You have a more closed mind than the 'believers'. I wish I could be there to watch you make that last wish, considering how much confidence you display now.

Call me a troll if you like.  Actually, I am an admin here.  I won't be trolling you; but I will be watching closely.

I am not posting any AI material in my post! I don't think what I'm proposing has anything to do with AI, other than its use as a 'tool' to glean from its vast source of knowledge, where my premise stands in the scope of human knowledge. I can post my premise without the analysis by AI. And you can determine for yourself, if in fact it offers some credibility or not.
I would strongly suggest that you don't use AI to try to "prove" your points here.

If we want artificial intelligence input, we can find it on our own.  Read and follow the rules and follow suggestions made by staff.

The output of AI is generally crap. Despite the name, AI has no actual intelligence, and so it's unable to evaluate the quality of its own output, a skill actual intelligences have.

Yes, I agree! It doesn't have the ability to 'think' in any dependable way, but it does have an amazing ability to search thru a vast store of previous writings from the past and determine if an idea was thought of in the past, or not. 

That seems to be a fair use for it, that shouldn't violate the rule about posting AI material, as if it was your own. I can agree, that that should be a no-no.

You hope to be there at the time of Nudger's death?  You need to slow your roll a bit.

You're ignoring the fact that AI quite frequently makes up shit and references things in ways so off they qualify as misinformation. You seem to have swallowed some bullshit ideas about current AI and its limits.

What amazes me, is all I was seeking in this forum, was someone that doesn't believe in an afterlife to look at the science in my proposal. I said above that I respect the fact you don't believe and would be better able to consider the science proposed than a believer would be. I assume that it is probable your observation of science founds your disbelief and find it incredible that you wouldn't want to know, if in fact, science could propose a logical view of creation which doesn't violate reason.

RE: Even Atheists Have to be
I'd considered linking you to a group of folks who actually did want to do what you suggested in the op. Propose a worldview in which spirituality and science are complimentary and coherent - but I see now you wanna tell me about ghosts and meat wizards.

I can only tell you what I already told you. I tend to think about the life I have, especially in life threatening situations. It's been going well thusfar...ironically, against some very faithful people who I can only assume did believe in ghosts and meat wizards..for all the good it did them.
