2000 years ago, roughly, there is a man who showed us that to die is not to lose individuality. He stayed dead for three days, then arose to everlasting life. Implicit in those notions are levels of what it means to ‘be alive’. i won’t bore you with lengthy biblical exegesis, suffice it to say there is more to life than merely the functioning of cells and chemical activity as we sense it.
“There is more to life than merely the functioning of cells and chemical activity as we sense it.”
Truer words were never uttered at Free Republic. I could not agree more.
I believe that it is *that* part of “life” that existed before our flesh enrobed it, and that will endure after this garment has been shed.
