Shouldn't you be proving heaven and hell to me, first? Well, imagine yourself being a rock. It doesnt have a conciousness, it doesnt know it exists. When your brain dies, your conciousness dies. You'll be the same as any matter. I think thats logical, though we cant know if your perception of time grows when you're dying; i.e, one second could feel as a year. And the "white light" everyone sees is dopamine that your body injects to your brain to ease death.

water might have been discovered on mars. life has not been discovered on mars.

thank you :)

[Cozzi0]

true but the more we study space and how we can live their the more complicated it all gets

[lynkshadow]

Funny how almost any subject now turns into an argument about life originals, esoteric stuff.

[Jairion]

True dat.

I still see a logic in our conciousness returning to the state before our birth, when it wasn't existing, but whatever.

[2spittingcobras]

If i believed in a Heaven and a Hell perhaps I would have to but I don't. You tend to make many assumptions about people without any knowledge or understanding. This appears to be your method in explaining what you believe happens when we die yet you have no proof, just assumptions. I don't have to prove anything as I am not the person trying to explain to youtube what happens when we die.

budget cuts :(

weather gets more and more extreme

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

i actually like that example. but here is the thing. being in the military airborne we do all our prep on the ground and make sure we are ready to go. but i get what you mean lol. Its not to say that the earths cycle is the ONLY thing causing the warming. But changing the entire way we live isnt practical. no more oil? combustion engines provide way more power and torque then electric motors what about cranes, giant machinery, we should reduce but not reform.

[iluvS2music]

Well.... The problem is there are supporting facts on both sides. I would try and "stop" global warming, because if pollutants and if the humans actually did cause global warming, and if they continue to, we might cease to exist... So.

In a little extreme example, you are going to skydive one day. A friend says you are all ready to jump, while the other says you are not equiped properly. While the two are argueing, would you jump? or let the second friend fix it for you?
