I am not sure if I believe in a higher power or not. There is a lot we don't understand about the nature of reality. At this point I'm leaning towards no though. After physical death I believe our meat bodies turn to dust and whatever makes us us, a soul or a consciousness whatever you want to call it, dies with us.

there’s no compelling necessity to postulate any sort of existence after death
Doing so is merely ego
This is life... the one you get. It isn’t a dress rehearsal, so act accordingly.

@newjaninev2 That's exactly what theorists do some of the time. They suspect that something should exist because it logically makes sense. They then seek corroborative evidence: raising their speculation from hypothesis to theory.

@SnowBlack Theories aren’t developed from hypotheses. Theories are developed from observations which then become the evidential basis for the theory. The theory is then tested by using hypotheses (if the theory is correct then [i]this[/i] should be the case, etc).
Fir both the theory and the resultant hypotheses the aim is to [i]disprove[/i] the theory and the hypotheses.

@SW-User You confuse not enough options to suit your taste with having expressed an opinion. The two don't equate. You're picking fault without sufficient basis, and likely because you want to start an angry argument.

@BlueSkyKing I think it's every 7 years every cell has been replaced. Also at any given moment it's 7 years later than it was then..so every moment every cell is changing. Apologies if that sounds pedantic.
Eg the man who walks into the room now isn't the man who left the room 10 mins ago.

@BananaBrown You matter.

@DarkHeaven That’s not even close to true. You’re very much somebody, and you matter to me as well as a lot of other people here. Don’t fool yourself. You’re a treasure✨
And thank you for saying so. A little time away does one good, I think, but nice to be back😊

At death the subtle mind separates from the body. It creates a mental body and wanders in a dreamlike state for 49 days.
Due to desire it takes rebirth and the cycle of life and death begins again. The Buddha said he could find no beginning to this process,however there is a way out.
