Why cant life die if everyting else can die?
Who said life doesn%26#039;t %26quot;die%26quot;? You%26#039;re assuming there IS an afterlife which is a bad assumption since it%26#039;s based on religious myths and not scientific proof. Sorry for your loss but when you die, that%26#039;s it.

It depends on your belief system. I believe that life is given by God and he has given us a spirit that lives forever. We are the only being created with choice, and a spirit.
Reply:It depends on your beliefs.I believe that the soul lives on but I dont fully understand it.Thats where my faith comes in.
Reply:Fallacy of composition. You assume that because members of a group (living things) have predicate X (they will die), then the group itself has predicate X.


This is a fallacy because there is no reason for there to be a link between physical members of a group, and the group itself which is purely memetic (an idea).
Reply:It will eventually
Reply:Christians believe that we are not bodies who have souls, rather that we are souls who have bodies. When we die, it is only our bodies that die, and our soul lives on. Where your soul goes after you die is a different matter. It is only humans that have souls, though. Animals (which I assume is what you call %26quot;Everything else%26quot;) don%26#039;t have souls, so when they die, that%26#039;s it. (This is all what I personnaly believe and what Christian doctrine teaches. There are of course different views.)
Reply:Universal life is everflowing and everchanging... human death just happens to be part of that cycle, if all this stayed the same, how would we know ourselves? how would we experience ourselves? We are all part of this beautiful, flowing universe, ever living yet ever changing ourselves. In a world of infinite possibilities, there is no thing that is permanent. Only one thing that is always changing.
Reply:God sustains life.
