No one is eternal, I think it would be good to seek help from a psychologist. Go out more and enjoy life. Don't waste your youth on such thoughts. I wish you all the :)
I'm 14, and I am. I'm afraid that when I die, I'm not going to wake up again and everything's going to be black and I'm never coming back. But at the same time, I believe in life after vagueness.
I'm 15 years old, too. I understand you 99%. There's only one small difference. I think about whether God exists or is all just a figment of our imagination. But I believe there is life after death. This is going to sound weird, but ask yourself , 'Why was I born?' In my opinion, every man is born with a mission to fulfill. But I may be wrong, no one can give a definitive answer, because these are too complex questions. I'il give you some advice that helps me in such depressing lives. If we think about death all the time, we'il miss life itself. I mean, life is one. Yes, it's true, you don't know when we're going to die or if there's life after death. But we will achieve nothing if we become obsessed with death itself. I don't know when I'm going to die, but I know one thing. I'm going to live my life the way I want, because life is one!
Read the "Tibetan book on life and death"
I suggest you calm down. You're only 15 years old, life is ahead of you.
Look for God, and you'il find him.
Come on, occultists, esoterics, philosophers and adepts command. Fear, you won't even know when it's going to happen. He thinks so...
You're still young to think about these things, but still. I think there's life. I've struggled to imagine a man living, dying, and then there's almost nothing. yes, but i don't think it makes sense to me. If there's nothing, then what do we live for, exist? That's why I think there's life. The physical body dies, but the soul, consciousness persists. So I think there's nothing to worry about : )
I'm not afraid of death at all, but yes, life, seeing where the planet as a whole is going...
I wish I could die before the most logical thing to do happens. I wish I'd died before then.
I hope there's no life after death. It's like an eternal and deep dream. Life is full of too much. Everyone has good and bad moments, but the bad ones are forgotten and they're much harder to experience. There are people who do it. They find happiness no matter how unpleasant life has given them. But... I'm not that kind of person. My point is that life is long enough and full of a lot of emotions to worry that one day you're going to disappear and it's all over. Be glad you're afraid to die, because it means you have something to live for.
Listen, there's nothing after death, so just enjoy life! That's all, don't waste your time with questions like that, because you're going to waste all the time you've got!
You can't get help here! Look philosophically at things, everything has a beginning and an end, even stars disappear. At 15 years old, thinking about it, only a psychiatrist will help you!
Look at Dr. Michael Newton's books!
You'il probably die in at least 50 or 60 years, maybe more. What's the point of spending 60 years worrying about death? When you're 70 or 80, then worry.
And the other world is obviously better. If no one came back :) If it was bad, they'd have come back.
It's a joke on the side, but you're not going to be the first or the last. Three die every second, so what? And you've died a lot of times yourself, so it won't be the first time. People who have experienced near-death say it was hellishly relieving and beautiful when you die. And keep in mind that not a small minority of people die unconscious. For example, if you are stabbed, catastrophic or fall from above, with very severe sudden pain, the brain literally stops releasing the substance that is transmitted to the neurons and so you do not feel any pain at all, soon after that you fall unconscious, a kind of fall asleep, and so you generally do not understand especially how you died. And to have torture is short. Look, if it's cancer, it's a bad thing.
A man is born and then dies. This is the circle of life. No one can prove the afterlife, but we can't help but remain in the memories and hearts of our loved ones. Live your life while you're healthy. Enjoy it and don't think about the end of it. It's like going to the movies and thinking about the end of the movie all the time. Remember one thing: Life is a show, and the show must always go on! :)
Everyone goes through those fears. Believe in something. When I was afraid, I began to believe that my soul would somehow survive, that I would not even understand what had happened, and I felt peace. You can visit a psychologist or talk to an adult if you think it'il be easier for you to get over it with someone else's help. Also, if you want, there are a lot of books that would be helpful to stop thinking about death and get over it. You're too young to be so afraid. No one can know when it will go away from this world, no one can be sure what will happen next, so people should believe in any of the theories and learn to live peacefully with it.
I support number 16. The book The Way of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton gave me the clarity I needed. There is nothing occult, magical or religious in the book. Pure medicine, physics and psychology proving that the soul does not die with research conducted in hospitals and universities.
Read and explore "Christ's triumph over sin, the devil, and death" through the resurrection from the dead.
Read the New Testament in the Bible.
21head. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth have passed; and the sea was no longer.
2 I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descend into heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said: Behold, the tabernath of God is with men; He shall dwell with them; they shall be His people; and God himself, their God, shall be with them.
Life should be afraid of a boy, not death.
From the author: Just when I think about it (even completely by accident) I sweat and start searching the internet for if there is life after death. I'm afraid we won't, because I think we're just creatures like everyone else on the planet, and like them, we're once gone. I hope that as I get older, science will advance and answer the question of life after death, or even prevent it. I want to know what you think about science, and every opinion will be useful to me.
P.S. Two years ago, I also fell into such depression, and it was even more severe and somehow sad.
No one came back to say. :)
The joke aside, I've experienced such horror, too. I even had a lot of scary, realistic pictures in my head.
Understand that you are more than body and flesh. Look for articles from psychologists, spiritual literature- search and you will find.
It's not crazy that this happens to you at that age. You're getting to know the world now and you're asking questions. And one of the most natural questions is whether there is a "life" after death. However, no one has any evidence of this. It encompasses a very natural fear and a sense of self-preservation.
One piece of advice from me: no one will give you evidence. And in fear, it's hard to live. Read, look for information, but build your own opinion based on what you feel is right (you don't think, namely you feel). It's the only way you can find peace with yourself. And don't let anyone impose their opinion on you.
By 9, occultists and esoterics were one :) Esoterics is part of the occult.
To the author, death is not scary if you have no sense of guilt.
This is where we come to live, and death is part of life. Live with love to loved ones, learn to tell them you love them. because sometimes they leave before you.
Hi. There is no God, no life after death. Don't even think about believing in such nonsense. They're just going to harass you further with questions like "Am I going to hell and fry forever." Moreover, faith is doomed to intelligence. To believe that everything was created by some being would be the reason you were not interested in physics, biology, geography, etc. and therefore to remain simple. It's the fact that life is one and a short that makes it so sweet. Some scientist had said, "If I could not have existed 13.6 billion years since the creation of the universe, I could do much more." There's nothing to worry about. When you die, you will be what you were during the Big Bang, during the Crusades, during the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. It is this thought that comforts me and I live much more fully with it than others with any fiction that goes against common sense.
27, faith in God is no reason not to care about physics, biology, geography, and other things. One has nothing to do with the other.
Black Sabbath
Number 27 - There is a God who has created all that is created, and yes, there is life after death. The Big Bang is one of the dumbest theories ever invented in an attempt to deny the wise beginning of the creation and presence of the Creator. When one begins to explore creation and creatures no doubt comes to the obvious conclusion of intelligent design, complex and complex device, balance and complementarity that point to an Artist from which everything comes. And this is even without the Word of God being studied.
27, and biology and physics, where do you think they come from? Just like that out of nowhere, with no matter, nothing, and hop becomes unknown how some kind of blast? How exactly did this thing blow up? The blast suggested the presence of energy, fuel matter, etc.
I have a question for you - if you see a painting, do you think there's an artist? Or did the painting just pop with some physics, biology and a big bang out of nowhere? What if you see a car? They accidentally lined up in an ideal system, didn't they? Not that there were engineers who created it? Just like that- boom and all the parts move into their seats by accident and miraculously earn as a common system?
I've fallen into a similar fear a few times. I've found that it manifests itself most when I feel like I'm not acting on my "program." That is, I want to do some things in my life, but I do not do them for any (often unfounded) reasons or just from laziness. Then there begin such obsessive thoughts about how my time is running out, fears associated with death, etc. So I think you want to see what you want to do and see how you start acting in that direction.
N. 27 Are you sure there is neither God nor life after death. And with what arrogance you say that's. And what a pearl you said only that: "faith is inversely proportional to intelligence." You're contradicting yourself, dear, because you absolutely believe in the Big Bang Theory. You're supposed to be very educated, that's what you're supposed to be. you're not simple, but you believe in the big bang. Personally, I don't believe in this stupid big-bang theory, and I could explain, but i don't think you'il understand. And who told you that everything was created by some creature. God, the creator of the universe is not a being, but an eternal Spirit. A being is a material thing, but God is not material, but is an eternal SPIRIT invisible. And who told you that if you believe in GOD, you shouldn't be interested in physics and biology! On the contrary, even Newton believed in GOD. And if you have studied biology, you should ask yourself how it is possible for the human body with all its complex organs (eyes, heart, brain, etc.) that function in unison with the whole organism to be created by itself. You know what makes the heart pulsating? How the eye was created, how the liver, lungs, bile and even the cecic human and animal organism was created. Ask yourself a lot of questions and thoughts and still think about how it all works. You believe everything scientists write, and I tell you, there's almost no scientist who understands spiritual science. What does common sense mean, is that yours? Do you have an open mind, do you feel a painful inquisitiveness???
That's normal, actually, for your age. In most people, it appears in puberty. As children, we don't really believe we're going to die. The others, yes, but we're not. And then - and it's a maturation process - bam! and we are shattered by the inevitable. We get up at night with a fear-throb heart and fight what we can't overcome. After years, he disappeared, with the acceptance of death. With the death of our loved ones.
Use that fear as an engine to live your days to the best of your ability. There's nothing else.
Two twins sit in their mother's belly, and one of them says,
- Do you think there's life after birth?
- I don't know, no one came back to say.
In a very interesting topic transforms the theme of the author. And I do not believe in God (according to some likeness of man), but I believe in some natural, rather universe power that has created everything available. I've thought many times where matter in the universe came from to create so many stars. Our land is just a speck, and if there is no God, it will deal with our planet Earth, and some pray even for help!? Here and now is the perfect place for the knowers (who have read more) to share. To the author, we are no different from the tiny ants, we are all creatures of the mother earth, we show up and disappear without trace, your life is now beginning, it is foolish to think of the end! He'il be here anyway!
'And created god man in his image and likeness... '' Number 32, what spirit, what invisibility, what 5 leva???
35, "People create, and therefore they think that they themselves must be created."
And how do you think the first cells that subsequently evolved to humans appeared? And how do you imagine evolution without some higher intellect? Or did the monkeys come out of nowhere? It's just two cells in the same conditions - one determined to evolve to a human, the other to become a goat just by accident without some guiding intelligent force. You're very shallow and too materialistic. If you think that all the diversity of life and all the inorganic matter is just a consequence of some blasts, chemical reactions, evolutions, gene mutations and physical laws without any intelligence, then you're very limited. Moreover, the physical, chemical, and all laws themselves, even if they are not created in any way, are also in any way related to intelligence, because this perfection of laws cannot be accidental. You must be very delusional so you can't see the intellect behind the whole scheme.
I'm not religious, but if you think about things a little bit, you'il realize that there's an intellect, even if it's not exactly the creator in the truest sense of the word, but some driving force with a deep purpose. If you want to call it not God, but universe, nature, and I don't know what, but in any case there is, and that's obvious.
And if it's there, and if it's such a deep concept, it's hardly our existence that's limited to our physical existence. There is almost certainly some continuity of consciousness between the various forms of matter so that we can gain experience and knowledge indefinitely. Yes, we're here to transmit genes, we participate in food chains and all sorts of pure earthly things, but that's just part of the stuff, and behind these superficial things there's certainly a deeper concept. And you have to be either very materialistic or very naïve not to notice it.
27, 38, I'il allow myself to quote Richard Dawkins from 1976. Not because his theory suits me best, but because he explains the most the emergence of life, current and present today.
"Sometimes, when atoms meet, they bind by chemical reaction to form molecules that are more or less stable. Such molecules can be very large.
We don't know which chemical materials were abundant on Earth before life began, but the most likely are water, carbon dioxide, methane and ammonia- all of which are just compounds that are present in most planets in the solar system. Chemists have placed these simple substances in a flask, providing light or electricity (lightning). After a few weeks, something strange is observed in the flask: brown "soup" of much more complex molecules than those previously placed inside.
Processes similar to these, it is most logical to have given the name "primary broth", as chemists believe was the surface of the Earth about 3-4 thousand years ago. Million. Years. Organic substances have concentrated in certain places, perhaps in the drying sludge or small droplets, where under the action of light from the Sun, they have been combined into larger molecules. At some point, a remarkable molecule was formed by accident. She could make copies of herself- replicate, It looks amazing, but it's a fact. Statistically, it could have happened even a few times in the time the Earth had, but it only needed to happen once. "
No more quote.
You guessed it wasn't perfect. Mistakes happen. They are most often insignificant. But the copies make their own copies with errors, they in turn- their own copies with errors, they in turn- their copies with errors, etc. You understand that if molecule A is the first replicated molecule and the molecule B is a copy of A, but with a little error, and molecule C is a copy of B, but with a small error, and so like getting to Yu, its wrong copy, Ya, will be about 30 scars different from A. Of course, it wasn't that simple. Not so fast. Among the mistakes were bad ones who "died". This is the natural team. There's no thought in it. Darwin's definition of a natural team is "Adapting the Most Adapted," and according to the modern theory of evolution, "Survival of the most successfully breeding organisms." In other words, individuals with bad scars die, and those with good ones survive and multiply. While inaccurate rewrites were made and distributed, the primary broth was filled with more and more different raptor molecules. But when there were too many, there was also the Darwinian struggle for existence. There wasn't enough room. There wasn't enough water, resources to "survive." Therefore, again by inaccurate copies, that is, mutations, some molecules have adapted to extract nutrients from sunlight, and others to use ready-made nutrients by eating other molecules. Then the molecules could no longer be "naked." They needed some protection from the dangerous environment or from being "eaten." That means body. The body is literally a replicator survival machine. Modern replicators are genes. The molecules that had a protective shell survived- the others did not survive. So this shell evolved, millions turned into a cage. The first single-celled organisms have emerged. After them and the multicellular, for the simple reason, they were more adapted than single-celled. It's led, and 4 billion years later, an uninterrupted unconscious struggle for existence and an aspiration for improvement, that's evolution. I hope you realize that in 4 000 000 000 years through this process it is quite logical and even imperative to form all this variety of survival machines, familiar to us in the 21st century. You're the one who doesn't think. You're the one who's uneducated and unknowable. You're infected with the disease called religion! A disease that causes people to kill themselves in the name of something nonexistent, a disease that gives an "answer" to everything and takes people away from knowledge and curiosity, and reading, and education!
Richard Dawkins and the big bang. I don't know if you're trying to convince us or yourself? Damage i say what I have studied in detail and what I believe and which contradicts your modern theories. First and foremost - "I believe in one God the Father, the All-Minister, the Creator of Heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible
and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Further there - evolution does not exist, but there are adaptations to the environment that are not evolution, one species does not become another only adapts to certain conditions. For example - canine and feline breeds or when a person trains with weights and develops his muscles or exposes himself to the sun and catches a tan. The Big Bang, absolutely idiotic theory. There was one point that exploded and poof emerged from the universe with all its unparalleled diversity and complex device and mutual balances? It's a complete nonsense. When something explodes - it breaks down and it doesn't become more organized and lively. Another - the big "billions" and "millions" years of "evolution". All the data found on human civilization is about 10,000 years back, there's nothing further there. Another, the theory of evolution itself is so stupid, I have no words. Life according to evolution evolved by making trial and error?!? From such experiments and mistakes that deviate from normal organisms do not "evolve" - they die!!! The idea of evolution is absurd. Anyway, this whole scheme of atheism is simply another deception to divert people from saving faith in God and in Christ.
And an interesting video on the theme of the finale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogSttUF9mbo
"You'd better live one day like a tiger than 1,000 years ago as a sheep."
Tibetan proverb
If they tell me I'm going to live 500 years, but have to avoid the dangers and live closed at home, shaking, I'll say no.
30 years to live free, without fear. from there on everything is a bonus.
39, brother, calm down a little bit. I'm not religious. You're just not answering my question. You're talking about some atoms, molecules, I don't know what. But you don't know where the original came from. But before they start doing all these things, where and how did they come from out of nowhere if something didn't create them? I don't know how something can come up without somehow being created. Self-creation is inherent only to the creator.
And by the way, the Big Bang Theory, besides being stupid, can't explain what happened in the first half of a second. Some small concentrated matter was in the spirit of the veil- the universe appeared. Well, where did the first matter explode?
Don't you see the intellect behind it all? Are you that blind? Leave God, leave religion, leave even the creator, but open your eyelids, and see that there is intellect behind everything. But you must be a moron. I'm not saying God, I'm saying intellect. Call it what you want if you don't like God, but he has intellect.
Einstein and Newton talk about that kind of intellect, too, and you're hardly smarter than them. They had lived in another time. They may have lived, but they were smart enough to go deep enough into matter to see the design and intellect unlike you. Physical laws are physical laws, no one denies it, but that doesn't deple the intellect behind them. On the contrary, it only confirms it. You're worse than a religious fanatic, only you're a materialistic fanatic. I'm not religious, this has nothing to do with it. I'm just not a moron and a narrow-minded one.
At any age, it's not normal to have depression and fear of anything. I guess the environment at home where you're still forced to live is negative.
Try to get rid of all the negative people in your life and deal only with positive things!
40, I'm not going to comment on you.
42, Stephen Hawking in "The Great Design" and "A Brief History of Time" explains all too clearly how the particle of matter was born "out of nowhere" or rather indicates that it is entirely possible. And guess what. There's no plot. Secondly, yes, Newton, as everyone was religious in his day. Think about why. But Einstein. Einstein is an atheist. 100% atheist. And nothing more. He's an absolute atheist. Let me quote you in memory, "I do not recognize the existence of any personal god. It's an idea that seems to me to be even stupid." I believe in the God of Spinoza, which is revealed in the harmony of what exists, not in God, which refers to the destinies and actions of human beings." I can't remember the other 300 like that, but I'il share them with you as soon as I can. There are still a bunch of quotes that speak ambiguously. He was attacked with letters such as "Take your evolution, the theory of relativity and the faith in our God the Father and go to Hitler, Jew...!". Behind the quote "God does not play dice" and the others like this lies a much, much larger philosophy than you think.
You're talking about Einstein. Unlike you, I'm not going to quote "by memory," but verbatim.
"Quantum theory gives a lot, but it hardly brings us closer to the old secrets. I, in any case, am convinced that He is not playing dice with the universe."
The quote is part of an Einstein letter addressed to Max Bourne.
"In view of this harmony in space, which I, with my limited human mind, can admit, there are still people who say there is no God. But what really me off is that they quote me in support of those views.'
Einstein did not believe in a personal God in the religious sense (this is another), but he believed in a higher mind. You wrote it yourself, and you contradict yourself.
As for Stephen Hawking, he doesn't really have any discovery, he's just philosophist. When you hear Einstein and Newton, you think of Relativity (which has already been experimentally proven), gravity, Newton's Three Laws, mathematical analysis, and I can't think of Hawking. I just got on Wikipedia. It says only about his assumptions and some mathematical calculations, but not about real proven discoveries. Don't praise me.
There are scientific discoveries in the Koran, some of which are now yet to be discovered. It was written about the 7 layers of the atmosphere, the orbits of the celestial bodies, the formation of rainfall (it is mentioned that the winds are involved in this, and until a few years ago scientists did not know it), about conception, the structure of the brain, the speed of light with the accuracy of 1/2 m/s.
I'm going to let myself quote. I doubt you'il know what it says below:
Any set of laws that describes a protracted world like ours will have a concept of energy that is a constant quantity and does not change over time. The energy of the empty space will be a constant, regardless of time and position. We can subtract this constant vacuum energy by measuring the energy of each volume of space relative to the energy of the same volume of empty space, so we can call the constant zero. One of the requirements that any natural law must meet is to require the energy of an isolated body, surrounded by an empty space, to be of positive value, which means that work must be applied to the formation of the body. If the energy value of the isolated body was negative, it could be created in a state of motion so that its negative energy is precisely balanced by the positive due to movement. If so, all sorts of things would appear wherever it was. But if the creation of an isolated body requires energy, such instability can not work. That is what it takes for the universe to be locally stable.
If the total energy of the universe must always be zero, and energy is needed to create matter, how can an entire universe be created by nothing? That's why we need a law like this about gravity. Because gravity is an attraction, gravitational energy is negative- work must be done to separate a gravitationally connected system, such as the Earth-Moon system. This negative energy balances the positive energy needed to create matter, but things are not that simple. The earth's negative gravitational energy, for example, is less than one billionth of the positive energy of the material particles of which the planet is composed. A star will have the more negative gravitational energy, and the smaller the star, the greater that negative gravitational energy will be. But before it becomes larger than the positive energy of matter, the star will collapse into a black hole, and black holes have positive energy. That's why the empty space is stable. Bodies like stars and black holes can't just come out of nowhere. A whole universe can, however.
On the scale of the entire universe, the positive energy of matter can be balanced by negative gravitational energy, so there is no limit to the creation of whole universes in the manner described in chapter six. Spontaneous creation is the reason for having something instead of nothing and answers the question of why the universe exists and ourselves. We do not need to resort to the services of some God {in the sense of design} to take out the plans and move the universe.
No more quote.
If after reading this above, you continue with nonsense like "how it came out of nowhere without being created", then you did not understand the meaning of the words.
Some energy is taken from some energy. And where does it take the energy in question? Let me guess, out of nowhere again.
Who's better? Newton or Hawking? I mean, i'm not going to
In short, you try to tell me that first there was nothing (no matter, no energy, no physical laws), then nothing took that it exploded or there was some energy unknown from where it came from, and a matter that at the same time was perfectly arranged. And all this by virtue of some laws that again, unbeknownst to where they came from. And all of this has happened just as randomly - no sense, no initial intelligent force to trigger everything.
Yes, yes. Come to yourself brother
Clearly. You didn't know anything about what was written. That's too bad.
Hawking is more right, of course. It's the law of science to have a city. As Aristotle has said that the Sun is as big as earth and it is the center of the universe, but Bruno has shown that it is not, but has claimed that the universe is infinite, so Newton has shown that the universe is not infinite, but has claimed that time is absolute, and "God somehow arranges the planets in the solar system so that they do not collide," and Einstein shows that time is not infinite. That Newton was wrong with these claims through the general theory of relativity, and Hawking, until his death, drew traces of this theory and perfected it. It was, it is, and will be.
The universe is its own creator
One of the most discussed statements made in the book ("The Great Design" is that we do not need the idea of God to explain what caused the creation of the universe.
"Unfortunately, the laws of science cannot independently explain why the universe originated. Our concepts of time suggest that this is just another dimension, like space. In that sense, it has no beginning.
Because there is a law, like the one about the gravitational force, according to which the universe can and will be created out of nowhere. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something, not - nothing, why does the universe exist because we exist.," scientists say.
And you know, supporting the intelligent dene, that you may be asked the same question: where did the creator come from? Out of nowhere!?? Um, why can't a (or more) universe be created out of nowhere!??
Why not proclaim the universe as all-pervasive, omnipotent and present everywhere - well, that means the word Universe?
Why should the question of creating the universe be asked at all if God has created himself? So we can call the universe God! Why must a FIRST reasonable being have to create everything else, and the starting point of the Big Bang can't have created itself!???
49, you didn't understand anything. Hawking is just a scientist, and I don't know what you're relying on. Even less so, Hawking, who has not proved anything in his life, has only suggested.
But one thing is for sure - there is something that predates the universe, that is, there was nothing before it. If something was gone, and then it came out, then there's something that it came up with. This thing some call it God, I call it a high mind because I am not religious. Assuming that time does not exist, then we can assume that the universe was never created, but simply exists in a single moment, and time is just an illusion. But anyway, there's still someone who invented it (think it right now, at the only moment) this. Nothing tidy and interacting appears without intellect. Randomness does not imply order.
Blow up your car and wait for it to work out. You only quote the scientists who get rid of you, but you don't know or don't want to know that these theories are neither proven nor do all scientists agree with them. Especially the Big Bang Theory, there are fewer and fewer admirers in scientific circles. NOT that they are any criterion, but the fact is that this is only a theory and nothing has been proven.
And no matter how much you say anything, it's just your reasoning. Mine at least make sense. If there's time, then the universe has a beginning, and if it's arranged, it's created by reason. If there is no time - then there is no beginning and end, only a design, because it is arranged again, still subject to some laws that can not be random, since they have consistency.
PS: when you click edicts, and you're five, you're not going to get any more convincing.
53, Hawking has predicted "relict radiation" and it is PROVEN AND MEASURED! So take it easy with spitting the author of such a significant scientific discovery!
