Death....is it the end?

[Kizzi]

Will my death be the end of my existence?

KiZzI

And is there nothing I/We can do about it?

[Boerseun]

Unfortunately, all signs (scientific signs, that is) seem to point in that direction, Kizzi.

And I tend to agree.

What you're asking, contains much more depth than just a simple 'yes/no' answer. Issues like what a soul actually is, comes to the fore, and whether a 'soul' actually could be said to exist.

All I can give you is my opinion, regarding matters metaphysical. And as far as this matter is concerned, I'm of the opinion that death can be described as the failure of a body to metabolize. Once you're dead, you're dead. We don't want to believe it, though, because we don't want to waste our lives to die without anything to look forward to. Self-deception can be a wonderful thing, but at the same time, very dangerous.

Asking what lies in store for us after death is about as meaningful as asking what you remember from before your birth. With pretty much the same answer, I imagine. Before your birth, you didn't exist. And after your eventual death, well... you won't exist, either. So, in short, you won't be around to worry about it!

But never fear - if you make full use of your potential, what you are, what you can become and what you want to be, you'll enjoy the ride. But remember to stop and smell the roses along the way, because you'll never get the chance again!

Hatch, match, snatch. Get over it and enjoy the interregnum.

Simple law of conservation of matter... YOu may not be here all together, but there will be bits a pieces pread about in the worms and bacteria. You'll be here, but spread over a slightly larger area and in a slightly less organized manner.

[Dark Mind]

In short: Yes, your death will be the end of your physical existence.

And: Yes, there is something you can do about it. Eliminate the free radicals that stimulate aging in your body.

Good luck .

i only replied no becuase if you subscribe to the belief of Einstiens space-time, then you will always be exsisting somewhen and somewhere in space-time.

[Dark Mind]

Somewhat correct...

Somewhen implies you would have existed, at least to me...

I think Kizzi is asking if death is the end of our conscious awareness... Guess we have to wait to hear from him before we can move forward .

[Kizzi]

yes I was referring to the end of our conscious awareness.

If only we could time travel back in time, this might solve everything.....open the doors to eternity.

All I can say is it's amazing were here to witness these events.

can anyone remember their first bite of ice cream?
just because you can't remember before you were born doesn't mean that you did not exist before you were born.
i believe in life after death, so should everyone else.
did i exist before birth i don't know, does it matter?

for evidence of a soul i ask you this, who are you?
