After death

India
October 25, 2010 2:06am CST
Almost all religions or majority of them claim that after a person's death, he goes to either Heaven or Hell based on the individual's actions during the period he spends here. I have no disputes against this. It is just ones own belief. But in general what does science say? Anybody as answers? Generally we say energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is just transferred from one form to another. In that case, life is indeed an energy. Energy that keeps you alive. Where does this energy go after ones death. Does it get trasnferred? If so where?

The energy that keeps all life moving transfers back to the envoronment, where it originally came from. The main source of energy for all living things is, as you might have already guessed, food. But concerning heaven and hell, I think that those 'places' were made up in stories, which later became religions in oreder to keep us in moral and ethic behaviour, as if human beings arent capable of making 'good' judment on their own.And I use the term good loosely, because it heavily depends on one's viewpoint.

Do you mean to say that the energy that made us came from environment purely. That does not seem to be convincing to me. The rest I completely agree upon. But never wanted to hurt anybody's faith and belief.

And where else did it come from? If you even try to answer this question you will come to a stalemate. Either it existed since the beggining of time, or god created it (at the beggining of time). Which leads again toa an infinite regression on the question who/what created god? Who/what created god's creator etc.

All in all, i just wanted to say there is no definitive answer to your question, at least not today.

Hi deepikavivek, Although we cannot see energy, it is all around us. The energy that is us continues to exist after the demise of the body. There is much that we do not know but I feel that we are all one with all their there is, and we never die. Blessings.

I could not understand what you were trying to convey. But then energy need not be felt, we can also see certain forms of energy. Dont you think so.

Scientist conducted a lot of experiments and traced that the soul when it separates from the body looks like a raindrop,it has such a shape.They caught it by tracing the frequency of some physical signals and twinkering. So it has been scientifically proved the soul separates from the body and gets lighter with 21 grams,that's the approximate physical weight of the soul.

I try not to think if there is such a place because I am scared to know where I go when I die. I don't want to go to the light neither to stay here as a ghost. I can't explain science and some mysterious things like that. There is just no connection. I believe there is life on different planets and I am wondering if there are ghost there.
