Unless and until consciousness really can be defined, we can not say what it consists of, and includes energy as a component. You might be right, but there is nothing that can show that.

You already know you are worm food, yet you invest time debating those who do no believe they are worm food?! That's logical.

Seeing you have a penchant for making comments without quoting what they are referring to, I was lucky to see that no one posted in between yours and mine, so I can respond.

Everyone will become wormfood. That is a fact. What is not a fact is that an afterlife exists. I deal in facts and best known science, not wishes, myths or fantasies, no matter how many of my fellow humans have those fantasies.

There is NO manifestation within our Reality that is NOT comprised of energy within a field so that pretty much becomes the default for all manifestations unless found otherwise.

That is you truth to live and die by and who's trying to argue you out of that?! Now that you have your solution there's no need for any hostile attitude and/or belittling "do you even know how to spell science?" etc.


And obviously anything caught on video is off-limits, so enjoy.

Science says the brain is still active even 20 minutes after you are pronounced dead.

Are there any case studies of a person who died for like 40-60 minutes then came back to life? Meaning they came back to life after the time limit expired for the brain to have any possible activity?


I think people use the afterlife as a source of comfort that life continues and they will see their loved ones. The thought that dying is the end. You will just die and that's it is a thought many people can't comprehend.


There's also the idea of reincarnation where your "energy" will be transferred to another living thing and you start a new life from that living thing.
Is it still possible to add a yes/no poll to this thread? It would be interesting to see the results.

You don't understand science as soon as you made this statement, it is obvious. And I bet you have no idea why my first sentence here is true, do you?

As is typical of so many on this forum, they never answer a question, but deflect, obfuscate, and throw an irrelevant question back, thinking they are clever.

Okay. You would like to discuss science. I am not preventing you from discussing anything you'd like. I addressed the OP. I do not know why you've diverted to whatever. And I am not trying to convince you, you are anything other than worm food...so I am not sure why you have your claws out.
