The exquisiteness and order of the macrocosm of the universe and the microcosm of the quantum world fills me with wonder and awe.

I eagerly view the APOD and string-theory threads every day and am constantly reminded of the awesomeness of the Creator.

JMO, but I find that Science increases my faith, instead of the other way around.

Most scientists would probably say that the concept of an afterlife is either nonsense,

Hokey-doke. Now, let’s list all the things scientists once said was nonsense...

Complete tangent: I wonder if he's any relation to the Sandy Hook shooter? The wackjob that shot Giffords also prattled on about consciousness creating reality. If my wilder, more libertarian days of misspent youth taught me anything, it's that many just cannot handle this sort of thing, the perception of being divorced from objective reality or worse yet in control of it, whether it's philosophically or chemically induced. There's danger here, imho, both spiritual and physical. Christians be very wary, it's quite tempting to think that this is some sort of affirmation. The fruits of it have not been good, from Castaneda onward to today.

Quantum physics proves ...

The Christian's goal is not to get to heaven and they are not seeking proof of their faith. Faith does not require proof. Christians already know where God exist in their lives.

This short video explains where God exist

Something we often use when people have moved on to the next experience:

IMMORTALITY

This is the promise that he hath promised us - even eternal life.

Yea though I walk through the valley - of the shadow of death – I will fear no evil - for Thou art with me.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

If I ascend up into heaven - Thou art there - if I make my bed in hell - behold Thou art there.

If I take the wings of the morning - and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea - even there shall thy hand lead me - and thy right hand shall hold me.

We are born of eternal day - and the Spiritual Sun shall never set - upon the glory of the soul - for it is the coming forth of God - into Self-Expression.

Man - the real man - is birthless - deathless - changeless - and God as man - in man - is man. Creator and creation - constitute one indivisible Wholeness.

The highest god - and the innermost God - is one and the same God.

We are not going to attain immortality - we are now immortal. Death is but a passing to a higher sphere - of life and action.

And so we prepare - not to die - but to live - not for survival - but for fulfillment of being.

Our contention - is not that dead men live again - but that living man never dies. A consciousness of continuity is finite - but continuity itself is infinite.

Resurrection is the Power of Life - always present - ever creative -ever new. Life and Its resurrection is now. I turn to Life in reverence - hope - and joy.

And this is the record - that God hath given to us eternal life - and this life is in his Son.

1 John 2:25, 5:11 Ernest Holmes
Psalms 23:4, 139: 7-10 Oswald Jefferson
