This was your first paragraph. My response to that paragraph is above #119. Did I correctly paraphrase what you said?

The point was to confirm from you that I had correctly understood your first paragraph. I did this by paraphrasing what seemed to be conveyed in your first paragraph. I was simply waiting for that confirmation and/or an expansion of the points that you already made in that paragraph. Generally...

Thank you, JakeBrodskyPE, for what appears to me to be your honest thoughts on the conversation that I raised above. I can certainly see that "state of mind", despair, anger and a belief that things have not gotten better would be the background for the recent destruction in Baltimore. I've only...

Very good intro for a dialog on such a sensitive issue, Astronuc. My congratulations. Direct and honest dialog is very much needed in situations such as this. As lisab say's "This is bigger than the one isolated case of Freddie Gray". Of course, language communication has it’s own problems (as N...

This was described by Michael E. Mann,professor of meteorology at Penn State University. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/holocene/public_html/Mann/news/interviews.php Others have had readings that give similar results. "While scientists and environmentalists have used the daily milestone to...

"The full life." "A life well lived". There have been attempts to describe this. I suspect that a person who has lived life to it's fullest would not be afraid of death. He or she would embrace death as the natural consequense of having been born and would not be bothered much by it.

Someone once told me not to speak of death as being the opposite of life. He said that death was only the opposite of birth. I am intrigued by this view. When you say "life is only a mystery if you haven't lived", I assume that you mean "if you have not lived fully". Is this correct?

Death is as much a mystery as life. The two cannot be seperated. If death does not "exist" then, neither does life.

Thankfully, death isn't what?

Have you are anyone else seen "Who Killed the Electric Car?" at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5977085690337730430&q=Who+Killed+the+Electric+Car&total=338&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2 Any comments?

Destroying the moon would also have other devastating effects. A few to start with would be: 1. Major disruption of the oceanic tides 2. Change in the Earth's "wobble" 3. Probable change in the tilt of the Earth's axis and attending axle procession 4. Changes in the Earth's rotation...

If by souls you mean the continuation of the personality of the deceased, I would doubt this also. My guess is that the energy that became focussed as a unique person gets diffused throughout the universe after the body dies. This energy may exist (in or outside of the temperal dimension) in...

I assume that you mean after death?

For example, where did this "typical definition" come from? Who is the autority? Are we all in agreement with this definition?

I think that it would be a good idea that after every fifteen or twenty posts we should define our central term again. Why? (1) to make sure everyone participating in this dialog is still in agreement with a definition or would like to amend it. (2) to help maintain a kind of...
