Please, don't get annoyed with me, I'm trying hard to keep up, trust me :(
Anyway, I looked up the rule you're talking about http://www.math.csusb.edu/notes/logic/lognot/node2.html
And there they say that the conditional statement p->q is equivalent to its contrapositive statement not-p ->...
Ok, so what are you saying then - that the first statement can't be true because the second one is not true, or that the second one doesn't follow from the first one? And if the first one is not true, isn't it the whole point? e.g. to show that something doesn't have to be alive in order to be...
Isn't it the opposite? He thinks that the second statement doesn't follow from the first, because the second statement is not true.
Also, does
"IF something is conscious, THEN it is also alive"
mean the same as
"Something is conscious only if it's alive" ?
Can one of these statements be...

And by the way, I read through this forum and the opinion that soul or some equivalent thereof does exist seems to be prevailing. o:)
Hello,
I found an interesting post on another forum, but I can't fully make out what was written. Basically, the poster tried to use mathematics to show that there is life after death, or rather the life of conscious soul that lives even after a person dies. He also used some formulas, or some...
