thats my point really, until we have evidence, whats better than a scientific theory?

surely superstition is contrary to the aims of science, it doesnt look for answers, it just makes them up based on...well, nothing really.

 

I don't see what's "superstitious" about a human being more than a collection of cells.

It's every bit as scientifically correct as the alternative.

"Scientific" is not a synonym for "bleak".

1) well, it would depend on what you meant by "more than"

2) how so?

3) eh?

1) "More than" has a pretty clear meaning. Cells and physical matter are not the sole ingredients of a human, or so the theory states.

2) There's evidence on both sides, neither side has concrete evidence.

3) Just because something appears more believable doesn't mean it's true.

We're going around in circles here, let's just agree to disagree and return to the topic at hand.

I would want it to be painless, but I wouldn't want to know that I was going to die for any huge length of time, because I'd just spend all of that time worrying about it.
