• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It sounds a bit like the person who, at the end of the nineteenth century, tried to determine the weight of the soul by weighing somebody before death, and again, immediately after death.

Whatever the soul is, it is not something you can do physics on, and, if you try, you will probably end up talking gobbledegook.

Have you ever read about some near-death experiences? Everyone talks about the same: it feels like your're moving very fast, there is a light at the end of a tunnel...

If your are moving with the speed of light it looks like that..

Have you ever read about how the brain reacts to lack of oxygen and the crazy activity that can occur because of the same? Many scientists, feel they have a rational explanation for near death experiences, based on this brain activity.

So you do not belive that everyone has a soul?

No, I don't. Why would I? There's no evidence of a soul whatsoever.

Have you ever read about some near-death experiences? .

Yes, I have. It's interesting to note that people from different religious backgrounds usually experience NDEs through their own religious and cultural filters.

No he is not that person who tried to determine the weight of the soul by weighing somebody before and after death...

Light does not weight anything.. Anything which weights something can't move with the speed of light.. (Albert Einstein - Special relativity theory)


I do also think that it is interesting to note that people from different religious backgrounds usually experience NDEs through their own religious and cultural filters.

It is indeed interesting, that those of different religions have NDE's that match their personal beliefs. Sort of leads one to believe, the mind is a powerful thing.

Neuropsychologists, have also been able to reproduce some similar experiences to NDE, by stimulating parts of the brain, like what happens when the brain is deprived of oxygen.

What does "very fast" feel like? We can feel acceleration, but not speed itself. How fast does it feel like you are moving right now?

What is the mass of a soul? If it is 0, the soul is already traveling at the speed of light. My soul would be out past the nearest stars by now.

If the soul has a non zero mass, it is impossible for it to reach the speed of light.

Hi,

did someone ever hear something about Markolf H. Niemz or his thesis or message2soul.com?

Markolf H. Niemz is german physicist who is doing some near-death-research.
He says that with the physical death our soul is accelerated to the speed of light and goes over to a light-like state.

What the hell is a soul?
