The afterlife, with a foreword by bats!
Foreword: Squeek, Squak, Sqeeeeeee, nao, bnap, ploop, scueeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
I couldn't have said it any better Branden. But now lets be serious. Ohh those crazy BATS!!
Now I decided this topic was quiet lonely so I've decided to fill it up with a thread about what I think, and what you all are going to think soon enough if I have anything to do with it. (Oi, cocky I am) So what happens after you die? Great question, do we know? Nope. Will we ever... maybe. I say maybe because if there is life after death, you'll know it. If there isn't then umm you won't.
I won't lie this debate he scared the shit out of me since I was 10, wondering if I die is that it. Poof! I'm gone. It's a scary thought to just suddenly not exist anymore. In fact just saying it makes me hope that I'm freakin' wrong and that there is a god and he loves us and wants us to live eternally in heaven. But I'm a bit too scientific to believe that. But being a science guy theres another side to that particular sword. And it all boils down to energy.
It is said that energy can not be destroyed. Well is our conscientiousness energy? What is it that really gives us that energy to begin with? I know, eating, drinking, calories and all that jazz. But what makes us alive? What "spark" is in us that isn't in a rock, or metal. Or rain, or oxygen. What really sets us apart. How can we physically be without something else. I know that a pulse in my brain is sending signals to my arms and fingers to write this, but is that part of me just a natural extension of my body, or is it something more, a soul.
Fundamental questions for a question that can never be truly answered. Some say they have died and were sent back to do good deeds. Some say they've seen ghosts, and they are proof of a life after death. But for me, neither of these things have happened to me. I've never really experienced anything supernatural. All I have are best guesses, but I suppose thats all science is is a series of best guesses until someone can come up with a better one.
I'm not going to throw my hat into any which way on this debate because frankly I don't know, I deal with theoreticals and I always have. At this moment my best guess is poof, now were here, now were not. But tell me thats not a terrible waste of space.
(And I'm not one to brag but woot! 100th Post, eat it Webnower!)
