That is just a thought, I am open to many theories of life after death, but it is hard to determine which one is the "right one", there are no reliable source to this subject matter. Everyone who have been there is unable to say anything about it.
Just live it, and see what happens when the time comes

Its true human population is increasing, but do you realize animal population is decreasing and many species even extinct? Does this answer your question on reincarnation?

Can try put the HD cctv camera with mic and Digital Thermometers in the Grave.. and start studying the movement
or sound

oh so reincarnation also works on the population of amoeba, bacteria, viruses, prions? what about their population?

oh and population on other planets affect population on earth?

do you see the problem while making reincarnation theory work?

If we are not supposed to know then we will not have the answer until we die, I think you are curious because you wonder about our purpose in this life. Hey, we came with nothing and goes the same is the natural course and everything we do in this lifetime is either significant enough to remain useful or in vein.

Maybe some one did came back and tell us there is heaven and others escape from hell to haunt some of us.

None of the eye witness accounts of what happened is reliable. On top of that most of the eye witness accounts differ from one another in significant ways which seems to be intimately related to what they believed and experienced in their lives. If heaven or hell is real, then it is only true to within that small sphere of believers' faith.

After that the world I'd non your bussiness

If it is so, it will be none of yours either, would it?

whr will we go afterlife? another place?or re carnation? if another place, then that place should be very crowded since many ppl already dead...if re carnation, -->still a big question mark

Should something happen after death?

TS,

threads concerning religion or so will seriously cause circular debates. lets direct this thread in listing down the probabilities of what will happen after death, rather than asking.

different beliefs dawns different facts of what will happen after death. listing it down according to beliefs and imaginations will explain better, rather than having people of diff beliefs quarrel whether they're right or wrong all the time.

Sincerely disappointed with the first 2 posts here, which sort of said "take a religion" or "look at religion". That's not right to say.

Be religious, or worship an entity, by all means, or not at all, but don't answer somebody's genuine question by saying "take a religion". That's inappropriate.

I don't think one life reincarnates to another individual - if reincarnation exists it has nothing to do with population. Perhaps 1 tree could die, and its death could fuel a thousand insects. Now wouldn't that be brilliant - but do trees even have souls?

Human beings have a funny way of disregarding anything that is inanimate or non-motile.

Karma stems from conscience and altruism. Altruism, some say, is Human Nature, innate.

Who knows what happens after life? Will humans ever find out? Sometimes this entertains us - the idea, that is - in books, movies, art. Sometimes this saddens us.

Just do, whatever it is that you do.

find the real religion and u will know y god cr8 us...

Religion aside, I believe when you die you will feel nothing. You do not exist. No soul to wonder in heaven or in hell. Empty dark existence like the time when we came out from our mothers womb.

well,what happens later is based on your belief...

i post reincarnation argument b4 in buddhist retreat:

U either go to heaven or hell if u follow my religion.

Why ask the living people what happen after death, since non of them had this experience before? Let's wait for one who goes there and return and tell us the story, shall we. Note that out of body experience or near death experience is not technically death, and the testimonials often contradicting and inconclusive.

On this topic, what we have is speculation and belief. However, cognitive science tends to provide us with a better understanding or at least show us a better direction where we should be looking for when touches this "grey area".

Let's look at hardware and software. A few line of programming syntax (line of codes) is considered a program. Taking a computer virus program as an example, when we look into "each" lines, there are merely if, then, else and some actions. However when "combine" these individual lines together, it exhibits a new behavior called "consciousness". Holism creates consciousness. This is what analogy to "live".

Let's talk about the opposite of "live", death.

If you burn your PC because it is infected by computer virus, after the burning, is the computer virus death to you???

Yes, maybe you could say that, that is the end of the computer virus.

Food for thought:

If the computer virus (I mean the same syntax and line of codes) is now rerun on a new PC, it is the "same computer virus" that you burned just now or is it a entirely new "computer virus"???

Since it exhibits the same syntax, we would say that it is the same computer virus.

As such, if we want that "computer virus" program to be run in a new PC, we "need not" salvage the original burned computer part or even need not to replicate the original machine. Any active mediums (PC, laptop, handphone, music player, even write it down using pencil and paper) which gave the same syntax could in principle embody the "same virus".

The analogy used here:
PC - A body
Computer Virus - Consciousness
Active mediums - Another body, animal

This conclusion leaves open to the question of whether the "computer program" is rerun in another body at a later date, is it the idea of reincarnation.
Or
In a realm that is not part of the physical universe.

Note: cognitive science tells us that the "meaning, purpose" of the computer virus can only attach to the flow of time, which is during the "running" of the program, as far as the perception of time is concerned. Meaning, purpose is ties to "running" of the program within the flow of time.

However, the existence of the program is essentially timeless as it could exist indefinitely (In the PC, laptop, in a paper (writing it down using a pen, so that 1000 years later someone picks this lines of code up, and put it in a says PC again)).

We can argue that cognitive science tends to emphasize the similarities between "mind/consciousness" in human and machine. While leaves little room for the traditional idea of the soul, it leaves open the possibility of survival of the personality indefinitely.

it's based on religion and belief. but there were books of people experience deaths.

Before we exist do you feel anything?

Same goes to after death.
This is what I believe
