| We never were and never will be absolutley nothing |

It has been said by one of our board’s prolific clarification posters that after death of the body there is “Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
I disagree by looking at it in this particular (but not intentionally limited) way.
We, each of us, are a part of the universe. Before birth and after death we were and still are part of that.
Before birth our makeup was destined from material, elemental, and energy sources in different forms outside of what we would eventually become.
During life we grew from taking in different forms of elements, material, and energy from the universe and forming them into our growing and aging selves.
After death of the body those elements, materials, and energies remain parts of the universe although in some case different forms.
Thus before birth we were different forms of parts and energies of the universe. After birth we became composed of different parts and energies of the universe.
After death we are still here only in a different form and energy.
That is looking at it from the basics of this universe’s physics. As a Christian I believe there is much more to that than those basics.
BUT either way after death we are still something, not nothing.
Our material, elemental, and energy of which we were made of goes on contributing to the existence and workings of the universe.
Do you agree with that?
Peace and kindness,

The "purpose" of life is to enjoy it!
It is "God's" greatest gift.
How wonderful!!!

Jack,
Your clarification surprised me. I thought that you did not believe in God. You even emphasized it. Wow!
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Fred, I'm talking to you, and you are a believer! :):):)[Note the parentheses around "God".]
For me, an Atheist, I guess I could type, "Life is Chance's Greatest Gift!" lol
