All of us die. Most of us want to continue to live. That’s why the house was full that Thursday night.
Author’s note, Feb. 2006. In July 2004, Dr. Gerald Schroeder came to speak on this topic. While the lecture itself was delivered 18 months or so ago, its relevance remains immediate. We are yet born, we yet die - and continue to wonder at the first event and fear the second. Dr. Schroeder’s lecture increased my wonder at the second event as well.…

I do beleive we are thought into being by the Creator... if we could truly see ourselve's for what we are ...we would see a pattern of energy or light..just soul's have an earthly experience..

It is a pleasure to see this thread picked up once more. For myself, I agree with Wolfgang (comment 126). Can I prove that belief? No, not at all. I do not believe that humans are capable of proving (or disproving) the existence of a Divinity.
I will say that I sense that at a level deeper than humans are presently capable of understanding, emuná (roughly, faith based on experience) and bitaHón (roughly, faith without experience) are quantifiable. But exactly how is beyond me.

When you think about it the only possible outcome of death is nothingness, would there realy be a place big enough to hold everyones spirits who has ever walked the earth and technically if there was an afterlife animals would also have to go just because we are the intelligent race if there was a god he couldnt exclude animals after all it says in the bible down to every last fly there 'gods' creatures and instead of the bible you mays well read Beauty and the Beast, if they were able to preform 'miracles' back then surely people could do so now, use humans are meerly intelligent species most probabley connected to the monkey family, how could adam and eve possibley exist when cavemen and homosapiens and dinosaurs walked the earth long before humans did, we probably all have pointless lives,I realy do hope I and so many others are wrong that there is an afterlife, where in the 21st century and people still believe every word of the bible is fact when most likely its crap, the bible was written by humans thousands of years after these supposed events happened, we've come so far as a planet and still believe theres a god, but then again if we knew for certain death ment nothingness would we all realy want to carry on our day to day crap of going to work, having a pint down the pub, etc Jesus came back to life back then why can't he now? Why isnt he on earth spreading the good news and healing people, the sad fact is we all probably need to wake up and see death means our corspe in the ground not even knowing we existed
