    The answer can only be found in Tel Aviv, ask JJ.
    Tel Aviv is spiritual and the Messiah will come from Tel Aviv.

    Guys don't you think that time is an amazing thing ?

    Imagine the year is 1912,100 years back, all of us sitting in the same place we are right now, except 100 years back in time, no computers,no internet, no cell phones
    now its 2012, our time,we are here at that time

    Let's say the time is 2112,100 years from now, what the World would look like ?

    Man we cannot even imagine

    time=most important aspect of ones life,our planet,etc.

    It's not time that you're referring to as much as technology. The world itself hasn't changed. People haven't changed. We're still the same as we were 1,000 years ago. I know that we like to think of ourselves as important, but in the grand scheme of things, we are rather simple biological creatures.

    We hunt for food, we secure our shelter, we protect our tribe, we reproduce. That is life. That's the way that life has always been, and that's the way that life will always be (for all of the animal kingdom, not just our species).

    Dirt and worms. People struggle with the fact that we are finite beings, but at the end of the day I believe we die and are gone forever. Makes you want to try that much harder to seize the opportunities you are given.

    people dont "struggle" with that "fact",


    they are just smarter than to believe the rediculous theory of a bunch of spontaneous bangs and evolving processes leading to life on a random planet earth

    I've seen enough people die to be absolutely convinced there is nothing special after death.

    Enjoy it while your here fellas.

    energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another

    It cannot be nothing. It has to be something,you are just like more than 3/4 of the World that are so busy with their daily lifes that they don't ask themselves questions anymore.

    You think someone created humans just to eat,sleep,work,fuk and disappear one day ? I doubt.

    When a living being dies, it's energy is released in one way or another..cremated, eaten, process of decomposing etc., but that knowledge doesn't lend itself to proof of an afterlife.

    Burning a piece of wood releases it's energy into heat form..But then what?


    Edit: None of my posts are meant to be argumentative. Just debating.

    Yes, I agree with you here. Like you said a living being dies, lets say a tree,animal, flower.etc. Also like you said it releases energy one way or another, I believe is no different with the human body, but we go to the next question. The human is the most intelligent and advanced living being that is known to us. I do not believe that plants and animals have consciousness. We as humans have consciousness, and the human brain did not create consciousness, it's the other way around,consciousness creates the brain and the human body.

    People use the "Energy can't be created or destroyed" to mean that there's some kind of soul. When you die, you get eaten up, evaporate etc etc. So that energy is going somewhere. Consciousness is not energy, it's a product of the brain.

    You seem to not understand what this actually means.

    Our body needs energy to survive. food, water, etc. When we eat dead plants and animals, we are consuming their energy and converting it for our own use. Food is metabolized when digested, and chemical reactions release the energy that we need to live. This is all about heat transfer, and can be modelled far more accurately than any NBA game total. Go look up a person called James Prescott Joule.

    When a person dies, the energy in our body goes where all organisms' energy goes after death - into the environment. If we were cremated, the energy in our body is converted into heat and light, leaving only carbon.
    If we are put in a box 6-foot under the ground, the energy in our body is taken by worms or bacteria for their own survival until their is nothing left of us to consume (just like humans eating animals).

    It seems you are mistaking Energy for conciousness. Conciousness is a function of the brain, without energy your brain will die and conciousness non existent.

    TR, may i ask how old you are? I seriously feel like im responding to a fifth grader here.
