For people that feel like we simply cease 2 exist(after death)do u think we just came into being accidentally?

Question

OR do you think that the HONEST answer is : NOBODY KNOWS

(I Think thats the Honest answer,regarding how & why we even exist & i think thats the honest answer regarding where we go after we die)NOBODY KNOWS
theres no scientific Proof of an Afterlife nor is there any Scientific proof that there Definately ISNT an afterlife!
HOWEVER theres STILL a LOT of things that Mankind...STILL doesnt know!(For example,...Microwaves have ALWAYS existed! but mankind hadnt DISCOVERED it(Proved it's existance till the 19th or 20th Century!) i Think theres a WHOLE LOT of things that exist....that we dont even know exists(& if we dont even know that something exists,..then how can we Scientifically PROVE it?)

Answer 1

If you smash a beautiful goblet of glass until it is nothing but powder, the goblet ceases to exist. However, the powder has picked up addition chemicals during it's life and sheds some when it is shattered.

Nevertheless another globlet of different shape, but made from the molten powder of the first goblet my be reborn as more or less than its forerunner.

Answer 2

First and foremost, good name.

Second, there is no way to know about things that cannot be studied or tested. What happens after death is just one of those things, since we've yet to discover a way to die for an extended period, and then come back to life. HOWEVER, people who have been clinically dead on operating tables, and resuscitated, do not seem to be anymore knowledgeable about the purported afterlife than the rest of us. There are vague, almost "too predictable" stories of bright lights and comforting glows, but it all amounts to nothing at the end of the day.

What matters in life from a practical standpoint are the things we can study, and the things we can know about. A great many scientific discoveries are accidental. Many are made whilst in the search for something entirely unrelated, but the PROGRESS of science, the building of knowledge from prior knowledge that allows us to reach for ever more complex theories and inventions, is a painstaking, incremental process. It requires strict adherence to the scientific method, and a degree of frank honesty that most faith based thinkers are uncomfortable with.

People find a fuzzy sense of security in the idea that there is "something" larger than us out there... something waiting for us, or watching over us, however unobtrusively. But in order to be HONEST, a person has to be capable of withstanding the brutality that comes with being COMPLETELY honest.

Is it possible that when we die a spark of essence continues that has all our personality traits and experience? Unlikely, because we know those things are a direct result of the physical layout of the synaptic pathways in the brain. Could some tiny bit of energy from us possibly return to a great universal quantum energy field? Perhaps, but what does that mean in the here and now? Nothing. If there is another level or realm of existence that we transcend to, it must be so alien to our way of thinking or experiencing this universe, it's probably pointless to even try.

I think the prudent thing to do, as a race, is to focus on those things which we have the capacity to understand (the natural universe) and leave the so-called "supernatural" phenomenon (if there are any) to the only time when they have relevance - AFTER we are dead.

Answer 3

>>" if we dont even know that something exists,..then how can we Scientifically PROVE it?) "<<

heres an idea:

be more scientifically honest, and consider the possibility that through means we do not scientifically know(or able to prove) SOME of us are able to be aware of things that are beyond the scope of science.

imagine the possibility of there being an aspect of human nature that is entirely beyond the physical, and wholely outside the scope of science as we know it. that SOME people, for whatever means, method or reason, are able to percieve, interact, and manipulate this aspect.

acknowlegeing the possibility of such perception as conceptually possible, would be a huge step towards opening up science to a whole new much greater world. like.... bigger than discovering the atom magnitude of "holy crap the universe is alot bigger than we thought!"ness

Answer 4

If by accident you mean, 'by natural law and not by miraculous intervention', then yes, we came into being accidentally.

My parents had sex. One of my father's sperm managed to make it to my mother's womb and find the ova. The two merged and here I am 28 years, 7 months later (if you include nine months).

RW: You find a way to test and systematically examine this 'non-physical' reality, and science will gladly accept it.

Until it is testable, however, no-go.

Answer 5

nobody knows.
