So, everytime the Population Limit increases, a new person is tossed into the Reincarnation Loop?

must learn in order to move on; until you become a "master", so to speak.

Just a thought...

I have been thinking about this, but how quickly would the transition between "beings" be? this is highly unlikely. as far as I can tell, the universe was created on science, but how do such complex things in the minds occur?

But that sort of theory requires something more powerful like a God looking over you, does it not?

I would find it hard to believe that that happed through the evolution of life and such. "Someone" would want you to get to the end and learn you mistakes and improve upon yourself to reach ones ultimate self-satisfication. I put someone in quotes because I don't know if you could call a God a someone, or even something that exists.

Anyway, that theory is kind of neat to think about. I had never really thought of anything like that before.

I just feel sorry for the people that never had time to think about it, or any other end of life theory, and died at such a young age, with little or no faith in what they believed.

I say, you'll find out when you Die.

Don't be so vain: it's very unlikely that Earth is the only planet with so-called
intelligent Life on it. It's also possible (assuming reincarnation occurs) that
one experience is learned on this planet while another will be better understood
on planet XY23K ;-)

Can you re-phrase your last question for me ? I want to make sure I answer
it properly...

As for the first part, take a wild guess: I'm making it up as I go too biggrin:

Old Reliable · 05-08-2003, 08:04 PM

nevermind that question, it is more like a study

Were you asking why our minds work the way they do ? ... or perhaps how
our brain works with the soul to produce consciousness as we know it ? Pure
speculation on both sides, I'm afraid. I don't have an answer for you Old...

well I just find it strange that the universe is created by H atoms and then later on the last 91, and now we are able to think all these things. quite an amazing advancement, and it can only get better. even though the universe continues to expand and will eventually get colder and die. who the hell knows what happened before the big bang?

Old Reliable · 05-08-2003, 09:06 PM

lol, I just read this from someone's away message

When I die, I want to die like my great-grandfather, who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming, like all the passengers in his car.

SoLiDUS · 05-08-2003, 09:42 PM

ROFL!!! Nice...

hey, thanks for all the feedback guys biggrin:

i guess thinking what i was thinking of happens to everyone, they just dont say it...i gave it some serious thought and i feel much better...it just puzzles me how we even have thought oOo: ...or why we even exsist...to reproduce....but its kind of pointless if there is no reason to reproduce...i doubt we were put on this earth to evolve...and reproduce to make microwaves and rap music....or were we cool:

its just one of lifes greatest questions and shall never be answered...

if anyone can tell me the meaning of life...they get 10 points...i know what the meaning of life is....do you? wink:

Old Reliable · 05-09-2003, 01:45 AM

meaning of life is to fill an important niche in the nitrogen, carbon and water cycle

Eight Ace · 05-09-2003, 01:59 AM

In my opinion, the meaning of life = make more life.

This is a mystery/burden that must remain, to be pondered by each individual
and each generation....to know any specific "answer" would be to read only the final
pages of a book, feel only the break-up of a relationship...?

and maybe the even more important reason for this "meaning" to remain
hidden is that in the unkown, there is always one vital ingredient....hope.

The meaning of life is probably one of the easiest auestions ever to anwser. The purpose of life is to accept God, worship Him, and lead others to Him, not asking much from One who died for us, do not worry about giving me those bonus points. :) There is no reason to fear death, just accept Jesus! There is much evidence of a higher beign, just look at the world around you, you think it was created all on its own?
