What would you do if you had eternal life?
Would you be bored ?
Would you be bored ?
Not to me it isn’t. After all, if there’s no hunger then why the need for fruits and water? I suppose what you mean is hunger would exist but could easily be quelled by eating from a never-ending abundance of fruit. Well, that’s just not good enough! (I want my iguana tail!). In the scheme you’ve outlined an individual could not “just sit down and enjoy” because he’d have to get up and collect some fruit to eat in order to satisfy his belly cycles (or because his butt was sore). This is an outrage which would have me demanding a refund. It’s a permanent vacation in a phony paradise…such things are better suited for a living Hell !if the eternal life is something like that mentioned in the book of Revelation in Bible, abundant with life water and fruits of eternal trees, you no need to toil, just sit down and enjoy, no diseases, no hunger, no pain.
is that good?

When I am finished with physical life on earth, I will go play elsewhere.
Damn, I was shocked and delighted to hear you say this, thank you!Saint said:B.head, you got your point.
Yes, I understand what you're saying here. I was attempting to show that as good as it might be, there would still be room for improvement, which is another way of saying...From the perspective of christianity,
a man who enters heaven had undergone hardship in the world, he knows what is pain etc., therefore, he can enjoy the good things in heaven even if the bad things in the world will never occur in his eternal life in heaven.
...that it wouldn't be perfect.He already knew the contrast between imperfect world and Perfect World (Heaven), therefore, eternal life with the blessing of God will not bore him.

The concept of singularity has a better ring. But, again, do I ever want to cease exploring the universe and it's infinite worlds?
I am not my body. Perhaps we are there or visit there now while unconscious or between conscious thoughts.Saint said:What is your elsewhere?
How do you go there after your body is dead?
My original point was that the traditional uderstanding of heaven would be boring. Later, I am saying that we exist within the universe and, IMHO, the universe is heaven. let's play!KaneOris said:How are we in a heaven... omg that makes no sense. you just defined it as eternal bliss and now you say its actual life. Well life isn't eternal bliss. And the christian definition of heaven, which is the only definition as its a christian thing (dont say but nirvana is a heaven and stuff like that, because that is a different thing all together) and the christian definition is closer to eternal bliss after life. Now i lost my train of though and i can't remember what i was going to say. But I am sure it was going to wreck your points
Invent! Emergent phenomenon is the base nature of this universe.KaneOris said:Also, what do you do once you know and have done everything!
As a scientist, it is important to understand that the concept of eternal life is highly subjective and can vary greatly from person to person. However, some common strategies for ensuring a fulfilling and meaningful eternal life include setting goals and pursuing passions, cultivating strong relationships with loved ones, and constantly learning and growing as a person.
The idea of having a physical body in an eternal life is a topic of much debate and speculation. Some religious beliefs suggest that individuals will have a perfect, immortal body in their eternal life. However, from a scientific standpoint, the concept of a physical body existing eternally is not yet possible or proven.
Again, this is a highly subjective question and the answer will depend on an individual's beliefs and understanding of eternal life. Some religious beliefs suggest that individuals have a choice in how they spend their eternal life, while others believe that it is predetermined by a higher power. From a scientific perspective, there is currently no evidence to support either belief.
This is a complex question with no definitive answer. Some religious beliefs suggest that individuals will have full recollection of their past life in their eternal life, while others believe that memories will be erased and individuals will start anew. From a scientific perspective, the idea of a past life is not currently supported by evidence, so it is difficult to say whether or not memories will carry over into an eternal life.
This question ties in with the concept of time and whether or not it exists in an eternal life. While some religious beliefs suggest that time does not exist in an eternal life and therefore, there is no beginning or end, others believe that individuals have a choice in when their eternal life begins. From a scientific perspective, the concept of an eternal life existing outside of time is not yet supported by evidence.
