If immortality in one's own dream (which seems to be what you're implying) is appealing, we must have very different dreams. Personally I'm glad...
I am not refusing to stay on topic. Why is it so hard to imagine that, in order to see future events and be certain that they will occur, you...
Also: Citation please?
Of course it hasn't. Do you not even understand the timescale upon which evolution is supposed to operate? Mankind as we know it hasn't even...
I just don't get it. I've met other forumers who do similar cut-and-paste stuff and never offer any context for what they've said. What's the...
I think I'm going to wait til I'm actually on the brink of death before I do that. If it truly is just a chemical process, easily replicable,...

I have no real reason to think that it isn't. I outlined this in my last post to kaminoishiki, but basically, I think that we as consciousnesses...
See, it doesn't seem like a logical necessity to me. The universe is there, you can touch it, you are in it. It seems to demand some kind of...
Probably not. I wouldn't say "I am a life" either though. We tell people to "get a life", not to "be a life", right? I don't know, I think the...
What I do wonder is whether any creator-god doesn't have a corresponding afterlife. I'd assumed that creator and afterlife were just commonly...
Well, it never hurts to have a few rules that don't make much sense, to stop people getting arrogant and thinking they don't need to follow...
Just as an aside on this, aren't the dietary laws just there to "explain" things like shellfish going off in a hot climate before we could explain...
