I can't compete with your superior intellect and critical thinking skills.

I am with Roberto in the way of you are always in existance through your offspring. Not in the living, thinking sense, as in; your mark has been put on earth and stays there are long as your family tree continues. Even 1000 years in the future, where you will have very little resemblance to the current generation, the father wouldn't be like he is if not for his father, who wouldn't be like he is if not for his, and that continues all the way back to you and beyond. THAT is the mark I believe you leave.

As for heaven or an afterlife, no. I don't believe such a thing exists, just like roberto says (again), death is the final chapter. No re-do's, no sequals. You're dead. Stop living for heaven and start living for living's sake.

If there is some sort of spirtual energy left, I'd have to say I don't know. I want them to be real (just because it would be a marvel or nature and could potentially lead to millions of new areas of science) and believe i've experience encounter before. But i'm also aware that for starter I couldn't even begin to say what would explain it, and that I do think alot of it is pshycological.

Spekkio, believing/hoping for something after death doesn't make you agnostic (which is defined purely by a belief in a higher being). You may think that some like ghosts is a natural occurance which we haven't discovered/explained yet or the like. We know soo little in the grand scale of things. :)

Glad you can define.

@Spek - Then why bother responding?

I believe in genetic memory also. How is it that animals know what they know? Take a kitten away from it's mother and it still knows how to hunt and so on. How is it that we have deja vu, convinced that we have done something before, yet, we have not? I also believe in reincarnation. I don't need to explain why I do, I just do because I want to. It's gives me hope, which makes me happy to die..... eventually, not yet, I have things to do.... speaking of which, I am hungry.

It's fun to stir the pot, and retarded people are hilarious to watch.
