The next religion? Quantum physics.
If people educated themselves on the discoveries being made daily regarding the nature of existence, it would fill them with a sense of wonder tenfold the that which the intoxication of old school religion elicits.

I experienced this at the death of my sister. It was observed by 6 people, we were stunned at what we witnessed.
Stephen Hawking is a dying man. He has stated quite a lot in the last couple of years that folks should take with a grain of salt,

Bio-computers arising by chance into a self-producing universe, for me, takes just as much faith, if not more, than belief in a creator OF SOME KIND. While "heaven" is certainly debatable, I think "re-occurrence" would not be improbable.
You are talking about abiogenesis here ?
Steven Hawking is a physicist & cosmologist not a biologist.
Did you even try to read the article ?
Because a lot of people seem to not understand the different between biology and cosmology.

No.
That is all if you cannot figure that much out ... whatever.
And then I get called a troll.
You guys are just too much.
Bye.
Enjoy your distorted little world.
Positivism asserts that the only authentic knowledge is that which is based on sense, experience and positive verification. As an approach to the philosophy of science deriving from Enlightenment thinkers such as Henri de Saint-Simon and Pierre-Simon Laplace, Auguste Comte saw the scientific method as replacing metaphysics in the history of thought, observing the circular dependence of theory and observation in science. Sociological positivism was later reformulated by Émile Durkheim as a foundation to social research. At the turn of the 20th century the first wave of German sociologists, including Max Weber and Georg Simmel, rejected the doctrine, thus founding the antipositivist tradition in sociology. Later antipositivists and critical theorists have associated positivism with "scientism"; science as ideology.

well that's it in a nutshell, where we travel to after we are released from our vessel i haven't a clue, but what lives within is most definitely real and can travel beyond our comprehension

Is that your belief, or are you stating that as a objective fact?

objective fact
A belief that heaven or an afterlife awaits us is a "fairy story" for people afraid of death, Stephen Hawking has said.

objective fact
I assume then you will submit to this thread the peer reviewed articles that demonstrate what you have said...
Otherwise, I will counter your "objective fact" with my own "objective fact" that we are actually soul plants...when we die, some interdimensional goblins stick a straw into our heads and suck us up to eat them..hense why you hear lots of people discussing the "tunnel"...its actually the straw...the feeling of tranquility is actually just the effects from the galactic straw in your head...yes, we are ultimately just food...our destination when we die is to be digested by these interdimensional goblin jerks...then we blank out after a few thousand years of mind boggling pain due to the cosmic digestive juices assulting our soul
Now...which one is the correct outcome...my objective fact, or yours?

Mechanism / materialism are the best arguments for tyranny, torture, pedophilia, rape, slavery, and genocide. After all, if we only exist for the duration of our physical lives, why not kill to have the most toys, power over others, sexual conquests? If we're just complex machines and life is just the illusion of life, it doesn't matter at all, right? One just doesn't have compassion for inanimate objects, even if they have the appearance of being alive.
