ORIGINAL: DrPirate Your physical body? Here's what happens after you die: The blood in your body will pool to the lowest point of your position proximodistally due to lack of circulation. It then releases an enzyme that clots all the blood in the ciruclatory system and begins a process that allows humans to decompose very rapidly from the inside out. The combination of clotted blood and gas byproduct from decomposition sculpts the body and produces something called Rigor Mortis (Which is why bodies are stiff and heavy). This is a very rough and broad way to put it. Then, your family will stick you in the dirt or in a wall. Or they might burn you. Either way, what's next on the journey? Where you go after? Don't let anyone tell you what to believe. No one has gone and come back to tell us what is there. Even if your soul escaped, went to heaven (if it exists), and came back (Near-Death Experience), it wouldn't get encoded to memory because your brain is still on Earth inside a dieing/dead body. Soul's have no brains, thus, no memories, logical right? What your soul experiences, and how your mind functions are not the same, irrelevant to what you believe in. Personally, I think there is a soul locked within us. The precursor event trigger to all thought that allows thinking and conscious ness to be possible. A singular unkown form of energy that causes action-potential changes in the electrical charges of neurons for free will of thought. When the body dies, that supernatural life energy is allowed to escape and become one with the surroundings. There's so much we don't understand. Being a man of science, the closest I have ever heard to their being Heaven in scientific terminology is called "the omega point" A point in the universe where every point, information, and conscious is connected to, and quantum physics and it's theory of 11 curled up tiny dimensions within our 3 dimensions can explain something like that being possible. Sorry for the wall of text, I'm both religious, and scientific and this stuff interests me. Very interesting. I would also describe myself as both religious and scientific, and the Omega Point theory intrigues me. I'm more of an agnostic than a believer, though: I think there are rational explanations for most of the mysteries of our existence...but there are some that defy scientific explanation. And therein, perhaps, lies God.
