I would like to open with the fact that I have followed many threads on EvC for nearly a year now. I really love the knowledge here and see many smart individuals out there that have helped me understand quite a bit. This is my first post and I would like some answers on what I think and what others think about. Here goes.
I have never really been a Christian because of all the claims made and how many can be falsified but I have always considered myself and very spiritual person. I have the tendency to think deeply about many of life's grand questions and one of them has been "life" after death.
The conclusion I have come to is that our reality is made of energy and matter. If everything is energy and matter then thought and memory would have to be a form of energy. Now, I like to think that in death these energies just change form (energy cannot be created or destroyed) and one simply enters a different state of mind so to speak. More recently I have began to dissect this conclusion and believe there are some flaws with it but would like to see some facts on it (for or against) or different logical approaches.
So if anyone has any facts or comments on this issue that may be able to help me understand the issue more I would appreciate the information. Above all I will always try to strive for the truth even if I do not like where it leads me.
P.S. The whole idea that there is "nothing" after death seems very logical to me as well but is a bit disheartening.
