    We live on through energy, genes and memories. What I see here is the remembering of the dead, a celebration with the dead person leaving a legacy of his loved ones coming together and recognising who they are as one and what came before. This to me is the spirit of the dead living on.

    I don't know, I think much of it is wishful thinking. No book goes on forever. No movie goes on forever. No song goes on forever. No life goes on forever. The sun and moon and earth won't go on forever. There's no evidence of forever. What will I become after death? What I was before I was born. I shall return to nothingness.

      Shane Woodbury It is quite possible the greater universe goes on forever, repeated again and again in both time and extent. If so then all patterns must eventually repeat.
      There is no evidence for an eternal unending existence, but then if this finite universe is all there is, then it is an event without a cause. An eternal cyclical universe requires no prime mover and as such is favored by Occam's razor.

      Shane Woodbury There will be a little bit of Forever, even whiteness and blackness are a spot of existence. Dwelling on Forever isn't childish, but it has to be known that even if it's not you or anything about this universe that remains, there's something that exists that you've witnesses that will keep intact. And hey who's to know what's on the other-side, if it's nothing you don't have to worry because you won't know, or if it's something you will probably awake again in a different view, maybe you won't even remember but at least that's something to keep in mind.

      Shane Woodbury i cant deny there is a whole lot of wishful thinking in the idea of "souls" but if you dont have an ounce of sentiment for your existence and think that its delusional to immortalize a person by a grave or think that there is something or anything after death, bury your parents in an unmarked grave never to come and visit them again.

      Who on earth is going to teach me about death or about some afterlife? Everyone here right now is alive.

    If you believe in A second ,3rd 4th ,eternal life ,DO NOT put RIP on the grave .REST IN PEACE means Resting forever ,I assume

      chris doyle I dunno, it's not RIPF. It's just saying rest peacefully.

    I'm quite disappointed that Brian Cox dismisses the scientific process (don't believe stuff you don't have *any* evidence for). The kicker is the silly question what the difference is between a rock and a living organism. Hey, physicist, ask a biologist. Duh!

    What is it that animates living thing? Well, contemporary materialistic biology will never answer to that: it is beyond its reach. Praise the Marx-Darwin's dogma for it.

    Quite a departure from his usual energetic advocation of atheism.

      I do not agree. It is possible to be an atheist and recognise the cultural and personal importance of religion and a sense of identify
