To those that follow Nietzsche's principles can one explain the feeling of no longer existing?

How in Sam Tucket would there be a feeling of not existing? That sounds pretty oxymoronic to me.

Yeah it is. That's why I don't see it as being possible.

My problem is I can't see dying and then just not existing. There's a connection between that and abiogenesis with me. You know. How could the created create itself

Chris that is a classic argument from incredibility - you understand what that does not work, right?

Well... lets phrase it another way...
Where were you before you were born?
Did you feel anything? Death is the same thing.

I'm not particularly familiar with Nietzsche, but I think it would be just like things were before you or I were born. I don't see any evidence that it would be any other way.

No I don't. Please explain it to me. Do you yes or no believe when you die you cease from living.
Why wouldn't you give me a straightfoward answer?

Yes when you die you cease from living.
basically the "arguement from C" goes like this: "I can't understand how such a thing could occur - therefore it could not occur".

I agree with Gary. What did it feel like to you not to be born yet? Why should it feel any different not to exist anymore?

Esteban Hambre

The fact that humans are soooo much more intelligent than brute beasts, imo, is indicative that humans have an eternal spirit. I would think that even evos would wonder why we allegedly evolved much more intelligent than the rest of life. That man can manipulate, train, confine and rule over each and every one of the animals should say something about our higher state of life. The Genesis record says God gave man this authority over the animals. Adam named them all.

Buz, even ants keep, manipulate, and farm other insects.
