Since nothing isn’t known about what happens after death the afterlife is just a human concept created by religions and adopted by other humans]]> 2020-05-18 14:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580004742 https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580004750 I think it's a bit of a grey area because none of us can actually know for sure what happens. but we can talk about it in terms of a spiritual change and whether our soul/conscience moves on, and also in terms of physical change and how our actual carcasses change

Therefore I would argue that we can confidently say that any religious interpretations of the afterlife are likely to be false. I think that in our somewhat primitive state as human beings we are unable to make legitimate judgements on something that we know very little if anything about.]]> 2020-05-18 14:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580005111 https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580005470 we have have to make a distinction between what stays on the earth i.e. our physical organs, and what potentially  leaves to the afterlife, i.e. a spirit. But this is difficult to define]]> 2020-05-18 14:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580005470 https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580005669 I think we can come up with different theories and decide which theories are better based on what we see as something that is more likely to happen.]]> 2020-05-18 14:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580005669 17cassarth https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580006285 Surely it is impossible to say anything about the afterlife since you can't apply any scientific method to it

you cant do any experiments or any logical deductions

aside from myths / religious teachings / stories, there is no evidence for an afterlife to exist aside from unreliable eyewitness testimonies]]> 2020-05-18 14:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580006285 https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580011390 Malachi
I believe that the spirit is metaphysical so continues to exist even after death, however the body is tangible so stays on earth. However there is no real way of proving this using empirical evidence

However the best way to talk about it can be in reference to our body being separate from our ‘soul’ and attempt to define what makes up a soul, whether it be consciousness or experience or memory etc.]]> 2020-05-18 14:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580015224 https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580031165 Ben
We can never truly know as we will never be able to scientifically prove what truly happens after death but I believe our soul does in fact leave our physical bodies and passes on somewhere else to a potential spiritual realm.]]> 2020-05-18 14:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ScottRE/dwk7kjcrb6v0urvb/wish/580031165
