No, you don't have a realistic faith. Dieing is not a matter of faith, it's a physical reality. Show me one thing in the physical universe that does not fade. Energy isn't destroyed, but matter (which admittedly is a "heavy" form of energy) is. At least in it's temporary form. Consciousness (in some traditions) is what lasts. But this is not "material." The physical world is defined by--creation, advancing, declining, and destruction. |
I consider myself having a realistic faith about an afterlife etc.
I was not referring to being realistic about living forever. That is just a dream, which i myself tell you and everyone that is probably never going to happen. I agree about dieing being a physical reality. However with nano technology and current research; we have the abilties to prolong life to a degree that, given our current lifespan, would seem like a long long time (that is if we fund these project and studies to take place, of course).
