well atleast i hope there goes something on once you die....
Boy, Usy is an absolute idiot.
Anyways the arguement of Religion/Science is one which has raged for years, more than Usy can remember, and more than Kev's lived And thats a lot, i'm only joking mate
Anyways, why can't one live with both the values of his/her religion knowing that science can work alongside it.
Usy you say "Did science create soul," or something along those lines. Without science there would be no study into that thing you call "soul," which means many things to differnt people.
The fact that you're trying to spam up this thread is because the questions are out of your depth of thought.
Death is a thing which will come to all of us, Science is working towards the prolonging of life, nothing wrong with that, we all should respect life for what it is, don't smoke, dont do drugs, dont go out on the drink every night, dont cut yourself - all these are a violation to the sacred thing which is life.
People who abuse it deserve to lose it, obviously not a case in everyone, and obviously that statement has loopholes everywhere, but those who hit the bottom when they where at the top aren't worth it so why should they be allowed life? This has changed from the first question, but do you guys believe that those who murder, rape and alsorts should continue life? Or should we go along with the American system of death? (And many other countries)
It's not science in general that people use to distinguish themselves from religion, it's certain parts of science, mainly the Big Bang Theory and the theory of evolution. Personally i believe in the big bang and evolutionary theories to detirmine why the Earth is how it is and how we've come to be living on it. I don't believe that a man made the Earth and the universe in the dark and put 2 people on it into a garden. Homo Sapien life can only be dated back 200'000 years ago in scientific terms, so I just don't believe that people existed 4.54 billion years ago when God apparently put this place together.
I have no problem with people believing in religion, but I personally prefer to believe in things that are scientifically proven and backed up, and I refuse to base my life and beliefs around something that has been made up by a human with no scientifc proof or justification.
To return to the thread's original purpose, i stick by my belief that death is the end of life. The brain is dead therefore your time in all forms of life is gone. I refuse to believe that there is an after-life and that spirits exist and ghosts haunt houses and all this type of stuff. It's not exactly a pleasant way to look at the end of your life, but for me that's the way it ends, and i feel that it makes you want to cherish your life as much as possible and live every day to the full as anything can come round the corner. I don't fear death, and as Kev said, there's a difference between fearing death and not wanting to do. I want to live and long and fruitful life, but i don't fear death.
Why would you fear death, surely the fact there's a thread like this shows we should be curious not scared?
My personal belief is that the result of death is something anyone who has been under general anaesthetic will know about, you fall asleep and then there is nothing, though with anaesthetic you wake up, with death you do not.
Well you go to sleep and then you wake up a few hours later in a different spot without knowing anything about what happened in those few hours, it isn't even blackness, it is just a gap.What's it like to be under GA? I've never been under the knife before so I don't know. You don't dream or anything?
Sadly, I think this is what deaths going to be.
As much as I want there to be a heaven, where everything is perfect, I don't think there will be.
