Life is not energy. There is no "conservation of life" principle.

RB,
In another thread, you said: "Who says dead people are in Heaven, they are more alive then we are." So why couldn't they communicate the way Nyxie is suggesting?
Originally posted by RBHILLThat was a direct quote, RB, that I cut & pasted from another thread. Granted, I took it out of the context of the thread (it was in the context of your debate with Nemesio about asking Mary, or others, to pray for you), but my question still remains.
Well in another Thread, I said I believe that God would not want his Children there to see this sinful world.
Originally posted by NyxieThe reason I said what I said is that there is no evidence for a conservation of life principle or an equivalence of life and energy. Possibly I wrote with too much conviction. I don't absolutely know that this principle and equivalence don't exist.
I am not the one who made the statement. I am simply speaking of beliefs and I have asserted none of them here.
You said your statement with such certainty that I expected you to actually have some proof.

You stated

Do you think life can be converted to electricity and used to power a light bulb?[/b]
Originally posted by NyxieWe can take energy from the outside environment and use it to do work. This is different from using our own life to power the work. If life or conciousness are energy, then we are batteries, and we can 'use up' our life to do work. I think it's more accurate to look at humans as machines which can redirect energy.

Thought is energy? This is perhaps a better question to ask for the scientific way that you view the subject.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungWe use the energy we aquire, yes. We do not create new energy. We do not destroy energy. I guess that's where the conservation law fits in.

Originally posted by NemesioBecause my 'supernatural experiences' line up with Scripture and theirs do not.
I've never heard of anyone but a Christian claim to be 'slain in the Spirit' or
'speaking in tongues.'
These are viewed as occult by non-Christians.
Who are you to say that your 'supernatural experiences' are True and that
other people have 'Demonic ones?'
Opinion, not fact.

Originally posted by DarfiusIf being in heaven means having to spend an eternity with you, Darfius, then I think it would start to resemble hell very quickly.

The day you become a Christian, Nemesio, I'm sure there will be loud rejoicing in Heaven.
Originally posted by DarfiusHow do you respond to the situations in which Jesus had supernatural experiences that did not line up with that day's understanding of Scripture?

Do we affect the energy? Can we change it's direction and it's output?
We are concious and in that we affect through our choices. These choices are not set. Our thought patterns are measured as energy. Synapses ...[text shortened]... s continue past the point of the modifier (us) because the energy can not be destroyed.
