    looks like this has become a Bhagavad Gita thread.. Buddhism comes from Hinduism so that's fine

    The entire universe and all that occurs within it are, together, no more than the random confluence of sub-atomic particles floating in infinite space.

    Try to attribute more meaning to life than that and we go off track.

    that is the mechanism of life, the universe etc.
    But life is not the same as simple matter - it replicates itself ( there is chi to do so)
    and has a sentient aspect.

    Once that is established, then you can wonder if living is more then just biological functions.
    I'm not arguing - no point in arguing the unknowable, but food for thought

    Is this your answer to my question about "Can YOU prove 'Life After Death' ?"

    "If God is eternal, then 1 minute of God's time =
    Nine-hundred and ninety-nine Billion-Quad-trillion Giga-billion "Big-Bang-events" of our earth years."

    Is there any proof that 'God' exists, or is this like some Harry Potter Movie that you've just made up?

    **Would such a 'absolute' likely to be some geometric looking thing? An asymmetrical Rubic's cube?

    I digress,

    My mental picture I want to convey is this simply logic as follows
    [Approx #'s not important, but the ratio is the main point]:

    If God is eternal, then 1 minute of God's time =
    Nine-hundred and ninety-nine Billion-Quad-trillion Giga-billion "Big-Bang-events" of our earth years.

    We have experience when one thinks of how a human's life is 10 times longer than a dogs life.

    Small frenetic animals like birds and quick re-acting insects appear to be rushing [like there running]
    A bird flapping their wings at 20 flaps per second whilst sucking honey. A Frog's snatching tongue. A fly's maneuvering u-turns.
    These animals are operating on time scales different from Humans.

    Eternal vs the Life Span of the earthings is real and is ---an quagmire.

    Being a spirit soul in the material world is [at worst] like being a crashed plane pilot afloat at sea ---and being sure to await calmly until the rescue fleet arrives to take you back home.

    It looks like it is a discussion on Religion. Gomer is as convinced of his 'God' and 'Everlasting Life' as Bhaktajan is about his 'God' and the 'Eternal Rebirth', things that happen AFTER DEATH ... that we CAN NOT PROVE.

    "no point in arguing the unknowable"
    It's fun to SPECULATE. I also think that some people need a 'soft landing' when it comes to Death. Why take that away from people?

    What "Christian reign of terror. Submit,...or die" are you speaking of?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Did you read the short Reply?

    "An entire Continent with millions of People, ... that are all Roman Catholic and speak Spanish now.. Their native religions, their native tongues, all vanquished by the Conquistadors."

    Someone called it an "Aberration". I call it a well thought out Plan to insure Wealth flows to the Caliph in Rome. Even to this day, the Tithes of the Multitudes end up in the Coffers of the Christian Caliphate in Rome.

    LOL A thread topic in which never the twain shall meet. Kinda funny how all this imaginary stuff comes to seem important. It is estimated there are 4200 religions in the world today, and probably even more have gone to their grave and yet people debate and believe and follow. In a sense one can believe anything at all, just don't hurt other people who believe or don't believe some other magical explanation for existence.

    "To sum up: 1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute. 2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it. 3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride." H. L. Mencken
