| First of all, the initial post makes a huge assumption; that we can only be living as long as we have the five senses to perceive that we live. This is already a wrong point of view since many people are quite alive though they may ony have 3 or 4 functioning senses. Blind people do not need sight to be alive. deaf peole do not need to hear. Paralyzed people don't need to feel everything. Let alone the poor people who have more than one physical impairment.
Second, this idea assumes that our five senses assumes that we are capable of senses everything that exists, which is also wrong. There are a number of forms of energy that we cannot register withut the help of equipment. We cannot see infrared, feel gravity (unless we are falling), detect electrmagnetic waves, or even smell scents that are common for animals.
Why must we assume that if an afterlife exists, it would be detectable by our few, and rather limited, senses? This is sillyness. Assuming that no afterlife is possible just because we don't know how to explain that it could exist, is flawed reasoning. We are far from explaining exactly how our body works, especially when it comes to the brain.
Is an afterlife possible? Yeah, since there are all kinds of energy that we can't detect, why isn't it "possible" that one of them could exist in us and continues once we physically die?
I won't attempt the "probability" or details of such an afterlife here, but the possibilty is obviosly there. |
