Still missing that point I see,
quote:
It's quite obvious that you'd be dead if the atoms in your body didn't behave in a radically new way, supposedly because of their configuration.
Note the bolded portion. The atoms may be configured differently, but they are still atoms and obey the same atomic laws as the atoms in a bridge. When an organism dies, it's atoms do not undergo any change within or of themselves, they merely take on a different configuration. They are still atoms. A hydrogen atom in a person is simply a hydrogen atom. The same is true for a bridge, even if the molecules of which it is a part are arranged in different ways and are undergoing different processes.
Consider an analogy; a screw is still a screw, whether it is part of a bicycle or a bridge.
Have you even considered that the reason why so many people are disagreeing with you might not be because they are a bunch of mean spirited atheists? Have considered that it might be more to do with you simply being wrong?
quote:
I posit that there is a difference between a dead and a living human being. The difference is visible at the atomic level, easily.
Good. Show me the difference in, say, a hydrogen atom from a living person and a hydrogen atom from a corpse. Just the atom mind you, not the structure of which it is a part.

Life at the molecular and atomic level is not simple, it's not even complex, it's mind-bogglingly complex.
There is no life at the atomic level. Atoms are not alive nor do they die. Ironically, you are talking nonsense.
quote:
I have no idea why certain individuals omit to consider that your body is mostly liqiud, and most of the communication between the atoms of the molecules are talking place through these liquids(which are excited atoms whose outer electrons at times have the ability to 'fly off'), and through electrical signaling, which is instantaneous. Of course our atomic structure and it's mind-boggling abilities is in absolutely no way similar to that of any bridge.
Utter crap. The atoms are still atoms and they obey the same laws in both; unless you would like to propose a "Bridge Theory of Matter" and a separate "Person Theory of Matter".
quote:
But the nonsense is ongoing and protracting.
So what? I can't help but feel that at the heart of this lies a protracted whine about moderation procedures. Some people, in your opinion, talk nonsense. What do you want? A muffin basket? Do you want people suspended for disagreeing with you? What is your point? You should expect to find people talking nonsense. This is a debate board. people disagree with each other. A lot. That is the whole point. If everyone agreed with each other, it would be
fucking boring.
If you think think someone is talking nonsense, take them up on it and debate it. If not don't. Simple.

This is again offtopic, but...
But nothing. You really need to lose your habit of dragging every thread in which you participate into irrelevant theoretical physics that you barely understand.
