Death is finalperiod If people pay their last respects to the dead upon burial (or ash), how much more should we, the people, pay our respects to each other - all of whom are still alive today, and able to enjoy the fullness that life offers?

Now consider what I am saying very carefully. Life and the universe are complex. Nobody, no scientist or anyone else has any real idea how this universe came to be. The things about Big Bang and Evolution are guesses. But even if they weren't guesses, there is such complexity in it all that we would have only the barest of ideas how it all worked. Here is what I am saying.

As far as we understand the universe and life, it is impossible. The only reason why we know that the universe and life are possible is because they are here, and we are living them. But we don't really have a clue about how they could exist. They are impossible as far as our understanding goes.

The point? In the same way that we don't understand how the universe and life can be possible, so we don't know for sure that the resurrection is impossible. Perhaps the resurrection is built into nature, and we simply haven't found it yet. We can guess either way, but we really don't know.

You are the very pinnacle of the complexity you are talking about very BADecker! Cheesy

Interestingly, your "impossible" orderly-magnituded neural-networked being has such intensely complex workings at precisely the lower levels of its functioning, that it is in fact laughably funny, the whole cosmic show as it plays out, and as can only be perceived from the relatively simple and straightforward endpoint (highest level) of current complexity > that of self-conscious reasoning - and you make it a pleasure to partake my friend. Wink

Resurrection is built into nature. We have found it. No guessing necessary. Without it all life on earth will very quickly die off. All you have to do is take care of those who have been entrusted to you. If you do this, resurrection will take care of itself and you will have the joy of watching the resurrected ones come into full being, before you finally lay your head to rest.
