Yeah and those parts may well be made of smaller particles. What's your point?

i say if there is a "heaven" it's an alternate dimension that your physical body cannot visit.

energy The physical capacity for doing work. Nearly all our energy derives from the sun, and technical progress has reflected more and more sophisticated uses of energy, from wind and water, through fossil fuels, to nuclear power.
that is ENERGY. now if you have another definition of energy i would like to hear it. but as far as i can tell, that energy has nothing to do with YOU. i believe that every person is a bunch of neurons connected together in their brain. when you die these neuron firings are done. so any trace of YOU is gone.

I'd suggest to you that the existence of a person isn't bound simply by this physical body. The idea that all trace of a person is gone when they physically die belies the influence their existence has exerted on existence as a whole. We are facilitators of the course of reality. We are cause and effect.
Identity is what you make of it.

Well, if that is what you associate identity with, then I think it is fair to state that only half of you will live forever, and, with each successive generation, progressively less of you will live forever.
As the legend goes, Jesus Christ never had children (he was a homosexual), and he's lived for thousands of years now...

Yes, but that's probably just due to bad genetics.

New England, eh? Are you registered to vote Republican in the primaries? Vote for Ron Paul and your support role in something legendary will be assured.

Droz said: If you all realize that we are simply being creative in our thoughts and writtings.
Reincarnation, god, heaven, hell. etc. etc. etc.
You do have to realize that these thoughts are mere inventions of the mind. We created reincarnation and god and heaven and hell.
I call these things creative thought. Takes a bit of imagination to believe in such things.
I don't know only if i could explain in more detail.
Add to this please.
Peace, Droz
We must realize that though our capacity to create is unlimited, we can choose to "create" illusions instead. This is how we can give false belief that sex is like heaven. How could something so temporary and something bound by time be anything at all like heaven?
Anything that decays or is destroyed or withered away by time or space CAN NOT be what heaven is. For heaven to have any meaning it must be eternal.
True creative thinking then, is thinking with the eternal. Anything other then that must be illusion by the definition that it is not true. And how can anything that is not forever lasting be true at all?
