This rule is a breezy way of dodging time. "calendar date" is an attempt
to mark the instant of death not the relationship between the sun and the
earth because if so this life after is corporal in nature. This 'instant'
needs explanation and the relevance of 'day'.

Does this aesthetic sense remain or formed after death. Is it uniform?


You may or may not find solace in this LAD fact. Children are the life
after death to individuals and the entire group of the species. So other
than worms turds and St. Peter may this is a easier way to explain this.

Your commentary is uninformed not to say totally clueless
and full of boring amateur philosophy spew.
The motive for your posting seem to be a mixture of envy
and simple narcissim.
In the meantime it is obvious you have no real interest
or competence in the problem of the existence or
non-existence of Life After Death.... you are simply another
wannabee without even the saving grace of insight or
originality.


Besides, the question here is:

IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH .... YES OR NO ?

and

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE AN OPINION, APPARENTLY BEING UNAWARE
THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS BEEN DEBATING THE ISSUE FOR 5,000
YEARS !!

THAT MAKES YOU A CLUELESS BORE..... BY ANY STANDARD !

By the way BOfL, turns out you are NOT a physicist... I
had you confused with someone else.

From your Google posting record you are apparenly a
"philawsephy" major and spend most of your time commenting
on amateur odd ball subjects on the non-hard-science yak-yak
newsgroups.

This would explain the utter lack of any hard science or
technically compent content in your post.

Obviously you have nothing of interest to say to me.
Sorry I bothered you.... case of mistaken identity.

What if there were a perfectly good explanation as to why you have
reappeared on earth. In the future it may be possible to create
"resurrection machines" like the brain works now constantly
resurrecting each of us throughout each day. If so then I doubt it
would be disturbing that people were walking around after the date of
their natural death. (just for the sake of argument I am pointing out
that in logic what you describe is contingent and not necessary)

Were you possible before you were born? If not how could you have
possibly been born? Where does that possibility go when you die? It
may be possible for us to exist throughout the time that this universe
exists. I am not saying we will but that if biology and evolution have
discovered the possibilities of me and you why could we humans learn
to emulate these biological and evolutionary events?

At this point you have almost destroyed the possibility of any LAD

Its as probable as life is now. As long as all the necessary and
sufficient conditions are met, like they are now in the activities of
your body and specifically the activities of your nervous system, your
life happens. I doubt if there evolved another place that is similar
to earth and biology on it, that is on its own like it did here on
earth, at the same time it did on earth, but who know, it is not
determinable either way.

Once thing seems evident though, and that is it must be possible for
us to exist right now.

I doubt that there are forms that exist out there like souls of
everything that could possibly exist but there are at least "possible
patterns" that can take place and I doubt that the self is immortal
but is an "immortal possibility" if the right conditions are met. This
probably with human technology that imitates nature in the far future.

Prof. Frank Tipler has already done what you're talking
about in his celebrated 1994 book entitled "The Physics of
Immortality". So you're not telling us anything new.
What I'm here to tell you is that you don't have to build
Tipler's astronomically sized computer to do the job..... a
far more probably in my opinion is that the newly discovered
microtubule computer already extant in the brain actually
does just exactly that.... resurrects us to "Heaven" after
we die! So please.... were not interested in talking about
science fiction here for Christ sakes! we're here to debate
scientific fact!

I didn't exist before I was born... end of argument!
No DNA, no microtubules, no brain cells.... no physical
structure called Hammond existed! this is NOT the same
situation as Hammond 1 second after death! 1 second after
death my microtubules system is still functioning and could
easily produce a "full virtual reality world and body"for me
that would constitute "life after death"so-called.
Now that is not a SCIENCE FICTION proposal.... that is a
credible and competent SCIENTIFIC THEORY.

hardly. The devil is in the details... and here we see a
situation where the details actually work out and fit the
theory. It is a success or failure of this kind of detailed
analysis that gives us an intuition as to whether or not the
theory is actually true. So far I haven't seen any detail
that indicates that the theory is wrong! perhaps you could
think of one..... i.e. some reason why my microtubule theory
of life after death is impossible. until I hear of such a
detail I'm going to continue to believe the theory is quite
possibly correct!

Na.... as pointed out above, the microtubule-cytoskeleton
life after death the scheme HANDILY beats back all of these
objections. In fact there is no credible scientific
objection to the theory at this point. even Stuart Hameroff
himself, The world's leading authority on microtubules, said
that he thinks the theory is "possible"! see letter from
Prof. Stuart Hameroff here::

well okay now you're saying something.... what you're
saying is that you find the idea of a "virtual reality"
afterlife to be credible. but that's simply puts you in the
camp of hundreds of millions of Christians who believe the
same thing for 2000 years.... and yet none of them can PROVE
IT or even present a credible scientific proposal for how it
would work.
I am the first one in history to present a credible
scientific proposal for how it could work...and that is what
we are here to discuss.
HOWEVER.... I do find that your philosophical opinion that
the idea of a "virtual" or "spiritual" afterlife is credible
to be yet another weighty piece of "intuitive" evidence
supporting the theory.

Na... you apparently misunderstand what I'm saying... what
I'm saying is that IF the cytoskeleton-microtubule system
actually does produce an electronic signal which floods the
entire cytoskeleton of the body and produces a state of
consciousness correctly called a "virtual reality"; then I
argue that what else could we properly call this microtubule
system other than the name "SOUL" !!
