Funky_H0m0sapien: Well, I will play the devil's advocate here and ask you, what would you accept as proof of a life after death? I mean, what kind of proof would satisfy you that there is life after death?

I understand, but I find the demand for proof a bit silly. What kind of proof would you be looking for? Maybe the discovery of the soul under a strong microscope?

StuckInTheSixties: I'd accept any sort of objective, tangible proof.

You know ... the sort of proof that meets scientific standards.

Funky_H0m0sapien: I understand. But people who believe that we have souls also believe that the soul is intangible and non-physical, so asking them for physical proof is useless. I know, I know, theres no proof right? You're preaching to the choir. But this concept of a non-physical soul has been around for millenia, not that that fact makes it any more valid. For example, in the Bhagavad Gita, which was written long before scientific skepticism, it is said of the soul:

It was never born and it can never die
It never came into being and can never go out of being
it is unborn, eternal, permanent and ancient
and it does not die when the body dies.

How could one even go about proving this kind of statement, let alone on wireclub? Similarly, in the same book, it is said that the senses cannot perceive the soul. In traditional Indian philosophy it is beleived that there are three main ways of acquiring knowledge. 1-through direct observation. 2- Through Logic deduction. 3- is a different sort called Shabda which is translated as realization,and yes, you guessed it, knowledge of the soul falls into this latter category. How do I know all this? Believe it or not, I was paid to edit a long series of DVD's on Indian philosophy. I'm not saying I go along with all this, I'm just putting it out there for interests sake. Is anyone interested? No? Ok then.

StuckInTheSixties: Funky_H0m0sapien says:
"... people who believe that we have souls also believe that the soul is intangible and non-physical, so asking them for physical proof is useless."

It may be useless, but it's not unreasonable. If one wants to make an argument that something exists, such as a soul, one should have the evidence to support that argument, else the argument is empty. Simply believing in something does not make that real. Providing objective, tangible evidence for the existence of something does.

I prefer reality, so my beliefs are confined to things for which there is objective, tangible evidence.

Laura, if, by "EVPs" you mean "Electronic Voice Phenomenon" ...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_phenomenon

... I think it's hokum, like ghosts, poltergeists, fairies, angels or any of that stuff.

Nonetheless...it's scientific proof....they're not just energy imprints...ask a question and you could receive a intellectual response through evp.

StuckInTheSixties: [Is it} "Proof that our minds are that powerful that we can mess with radio waves to matrix what we need to hear"

Nope.

It's proof that minds can perceive unreal things, that's all.

Animal Lover: Not "PROOF" exactly but at Spiritualist Church I have heard the medium relaying a message from a dead person about stuff like where something of theirs is that their relatives haven't been able to find or that they're pleased to have the dog with them now or that they took their own life and apparently suicides only get a short break (time is different on different planes but they don't get to stay there forever) in Paradise and then have to come back.
It's really just a question of personal belief and I choose to believe in life after death.
The day after I had been at a friend's funeral a good few years ago, I was having my morning coffee in a very relaxed manner and I thought about what kind of funeral I would like. I mentally asked the question, "Would you have liked that, Dave?" and a man''s voice spoke to me from my stomach and said, "Yes, I would have"! I got the fright of my life and felt a fluttering in my stomach - as he fled? I went to Spiritualist Church that evening and he came to me. The medium said he was a very recent pass over. When I went through the back for tea afterwards, I brushed past the medium and she grabbed hold of me. She said, "He's just said his name is David". I phoned his widow when I came home and got the impression she was none too pleased that he had come to me and not her.

Bumlen: I don't know wether there is a life after death or not.
And as far as I know, so far nobody else know it either.

Maybe science will be able to answer the question some day in the future.

daiseylover: A great scientist once prooved energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It's common knowledge that people are full of energy so what happens when we die? I believe the answer is our soul. I don't know if it is heaven or hell or reincarnation (deja vu) but the soul is our energy that can't be destroyed.
