Is There Life After Death?
Ideas and images from a post on the "i09" weblog 8 Great Philosophical Questions That We'll Never Solve
I found a post titled "8 Great Philosophical Questions That We'll Never Solve" It was from the i09 weblog. I decided to share my ideas about these questions. Let me know what you think.
"Materialists assume that there's no life after death, but it's just that — an assumption that cannot necessarily be proven."
"...there's no reason to believe that we only have one shot at this thing called life."
I believe this is a matter of faith, not logic.
I've heard of uploading a person's soul into the internet; continuing life after death by surfing the "web world".
I've heard of moving the soul into a new artificial body. Just like replacing a leg or hand with a manufactured body part; the soul would be transferred from the dying body into a new body.

John, I do believe that there is *something* after our human body wears out... whether one should call it *life* or not, I can't say. But I think the soul (or again- whatever you want to call that part of us that is also a part of God/Force/Nature - perhaps *the God particle*) goes on. How it goes on or in what form, again I wouldn't know. Is this "faith" or even perhaps "hope"? Maybe...
ReplyDeleteIt seems strange if nature/God would create a being who is aware/conscious then just let it stop existing. Otherwise why not just let us function without being conscious?
DeleteA computer can play chess but it is not aware of it. It just plays.
But... if we are *a part* of this God/Force/Nature to start with... why would we stop existing?
DeleteIt seems as if it would be a waste for all our hard-earned wisdom to just . . . disappear . . . along with the rest of our consciousness. But our logic may not be that of the cosmos that created us. I suspect (somewhat sadly) that when we die, we're about as dead as a slow rabbit on a two-lane road.
ReplyDeleteI recently had a big deconversion from faith. I don't believe there is nothing after death, I just don't see any consistent, credible evidence for it. Religions seem to be an ancient, confused mishmash of hope rather than reality.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more faith but I'm confused.
