Classic example of intellectual bullying.

When you thought I was a science professor, and I paid you a
compliment, you were all 'gushy'.

Now you know Im not, you become insulting.

Mistaken identity all right....your own.

Is there life after death?

If you want the correct answer, you have to ask the right question.

Does your identity live beyond the life of your physical body, is more
appropriate.

To ask 'is there life after death', is very childish (as is the
bullying to which I refer).

The answer to yours is obvious.

Your great grand parents are dead, and you are alive.

Try these variations, and you may possibly see what I mean.

Is there no time after time? Is there dark after light? Is there up
after down?

Life 'is' George(not was)! It doesnt have an after or a befor.

You have a body that dies in total every ten years. 90% of your
biological structure is non human in origin.By the 'time' you brain
has registered an event, it has already happened, so your senses
(including those trained in science)can only experience the
past....and yet you are known as a 'be'-ing.

The reason for your frustration, is you are blocking your own
awareness.

The Scientific Method is said to be "recursive" because theories are
explanations of observations, which suggest new observations to make.
If those observations are as the theory suggested, the theory is
reinforced. If not, the theory is shown to be limited. In other words,
science keeps testing (justifying) its beliefs via experiment.

Science doesn't have much in the way of untestable "beliefs". It
"believes" in the universality of physical law, which observations
consistently support. It "believes" in cause-and-effect, which
observation again consistently supports.

You might say that the Scientific Method is "believed" to work, but
how would you go about falsifying it?

Screw "sophisticated" argument, let's design an experiment to *look*
for it.

How long does an experience take?

This isn't about the neuronal brain.
