:) Okay. From a strictly scientific standpoint. What does your brain operate on? Electrical energy. We have a scientific law which states; Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. It can only be altered in form. Okay, the energy in our brains cannot be destroyed, upon the death of our physical bodies. Then what happens to it??? I think there's your Ghosts. Who we are changes form, but is not destroyed. We still exist. I guess maybe it's a science based definition of a soul?

Spiritual life continues after physical death. And, no, you won't meet your wife after you die. Sorry...

There is only spiritual life after physical death for those who believe in Jesus Christ, and love and seek and work for His kingdom. The sheep, as the Bible calls them, will go to Heaven for all of eternity after physical death. The goats, as the Bible calls them, will go to the lake of fire, and burn in Hell for all of eternity. This is called the second death.

the real question here is: Do we actually die at all?\n\nSure, the functions of the body stop working, but they almost immediately begin to serve new functions.  Mainly, in the beginning, the processes of the body begin to immediately breakdown the body casing.  Once the body is dissolved, is becomes food and nutrient, which in turn serves to produce life, on many different levels.  \n\nAs for the "soul" who knows if it even exists.  We do know that the body's cells are full of energy.  We are also taught that energy cannot be created of destroyed.  So, the energy merely moves along, we could infer.  Perhaps the energy energizes other living creatures, perhaps it spurs a violent collision of atoms and particles resulting in a chaotic tropical storm.  perhaps too it leaves the earth alltogether and enters another dimension of life, after-life, or after-death realm.  Hell, maybe it even retains it's consciousness.  \n\nThen again, maybe nothing happens.  Maybe it's like a dreamless sleep that you never wake up from.  If that's the case, would you ever know that were dead?

Absent from the body, present with the Lord. Yes our body and Spirit go back where they come from, the body came from dust so goes back to the dust, and our spirit goes back to God. But we all have a purpose on this earth to fulfill it

Our bodies are running down and dieing as we speak, but our souls are eternal.\nI believe, When you die you go to one of two places. If you are saved (by excepting the precious gift God gave through his son Jesus Christ's death and resurection) you go to heaven (read the books of John and Romans in the Bible to understand what I mean) if you are not saved you go to a bad place (hell).  Alot of people will not agree with me and that is fine, but this may be the answer you're searching for, you should atleast check it out.

Our bodies die when our bodies die.\n\nYet most of our souls are much older, and may live on to be born into another body, or be trapped between existances as a ghost, or perhaps go to some sort of afterlife.\n\nBasically, no one knows for SURE.  It's simply impossible for an ordinary human being to know.

Death only pertains to our physical incarnation in this reality.  In truth our souls never die.  They are eternal.  Always were, always will be, just like God.  Read the book Home with God by Neale Donald Walsch.  It offers a hopeful and wonderful message about dying which will take all fear of death away from you forever.

Yes .There is life before birth and life after death.Soul is carried by body.Man is a soul having body.That is why we say we donot know from where we have come and where we are going?World is a passing phase.

A kind of. In fact when we die our soul/spirit transfer from body to an other dimension. There are some people who can see,feel and talk with spirit.\n\nWhen we are alive we become closer to our love one in the same way there is a possibility that spirit can visit their loved ones.\n\nHere in Japan there is a special day for this.\n\nYou may laugh but it is true.

I testify to you that the following words are TRUE and you can find out for yourself by asking God in the name of Jesus Christ. having faith and real intent.\n\nDeath is not the end. Death is really a beginning—another step forward in Heavenly Father’s plan for His children. \nSomeday, like everyone else, your life on Earth will end and your physical body will die. But your spirit will not die. At the time of physical death, your spirit will go to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress. \n\nDeath is a necessary step in your progression, just as your birth was. Sometime after your death, your spirit and your body will be reunited—never to be separated again. This is called resurrection, and it was made possible by the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

To me reincarnation is living life after life until we are able to become One again with God or the Divine. It is a continuing cycle of material life and death as we progress, learn and develop on the path of life. Our true or real self is the soul and not this material body we inhabit during our times here in the material plane. It is only the body that dies just like all other things we see around us. The soul is of like qualities of God and does not pass.\n\nFor more information visit, http://meta.euleesway.com

Yes.  I would only hope that after living this life with whatever each of us experiences (good, bad, ugly), that life after death would be there for all of us and it would be glorious as God had intended for it to be.  There will be no hurt, no pain, no suffering, (no intolerable rude people :) ). There would be peace throughout and within. We may have the choice to return (reincarnate) and try again, as some say.  We may see past loved ones again.  I for one miss my dogs and my  friends & family members who have passed.

Our physical body is a womb and life on earth is merely preparation for our birth into the spiritual world.  This happens when we have no further use for our body, it dies and our spirit passes over to join the legions of angels who have lived before us in eternal life.

Well, the "in between" are still dead, but yes, there are souls that don't know they're dead.  This happens primarily when a person dies a tragic death, e.g. in an accident.  Sometimes, when they don't want to go to the Light, because they feel they have something to take care of, they will also be Earth-bound.\nIt has been reported that on occasion, a spirit could drain a person's energy, but that is also true for the living.\nSpirits see both, dead and alive.  You can't guarantee anything, including what you will WILL yourself to do after your body dies.

we will move on to another place such as another dimensions where our souls go with other spirits.\n\nwe will still have a soul and as lng as we are concious we will know we are living an "immortal life" after death\n\neven though the fate of the universe is uncertain(it will forever expand, stop expanding, or contract), we know our existence is forever like the supreme being, unless we decide to end our existence ourselves
