Author, orator, and all-around ‘science guy’ Bill Nye has been asked a lot of questions in his 30 years on the air. But this time around, Bill gets asked a question almost Biblical in nature: is there such a thing as true free will? Of course, Bill gets right down to the nitty gritty and tells us what exactly is going on in our brains as we begin to make any decision. Is the idea of "choice" real or is choice just an idea in our heads? Are our brains inventing our own answers before we’ve even thought them through? The answer might surprise you. Bill Nye's most recent book is Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILL NYE:
Bill Nye, scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, is a man with a mission: to help foster a scientifically literate society, to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes our world work. Making science entertaining and accessible is something Bill has been doing most of his life.
In Seattle Nye began to combine his love of science with his flair for comedy, when he won the Steve Martin look-alike contest and developed dual careers as an engineer by day and a stand-up comic by night. Nye then quit his day engineering day job and made the transition to a night job as a comedy writer and performer on Seattle’s home-grown ensemble comedy show “Almost Live.” This is where “Bill Nye the Science Guy®” was born. The show appeared before Saturday Night Live and later on Comedy Central, originating at KING-TV, Seattle’s NBC affiliate.
While working on the Science Guy show, Nye won seven national Emmy Awards for writing, performing, and producing. The show won 18 Emmys in five years. In between creating the shows, he wrote five children’s books about science, including his latest title, “Bill Nye’s Great Big Book of Tiny Germs.”
Nye is the host of three currently-running television series. “The 100 Greatest Discoveries” airs on the Science Channel. “The Eyes of Nye” airs on PBS stations across the country.
Bill’s latest project is hosting a show on Planet Green called “Stuff Happens.” It’s about environmentally responsible choices that consumers can make as they go about their day and their shopping. Also, you’ll see Nye in his good-natured rivalry with his neighbor Ed Begley. They compete to see who can save the most energy and produce the smallest carbon footprint. Nye has 4,000 watts of solar power and a solar-boosted hot water system. There’s also the low water use garden and underground watering system. It’s fun for him; he’s an engineer with an energy conservation hobby.
Nye is currently the Executive Director of The Planetary Society, the world’s largest space interest organization.

TRANSCRIPT:
PETE: Hey Bill. It’s Pete from Atlanta, Georgia, and I was wondering if you believe in free will? It feels like the idea of choice is the biggest argument for free will, but is choice real or is it just an idea in our heads? If I look at my life I feel like I’m here through a series of single decisions and it just kind of feels very linear and kind of on a track. But I’m not so sure. What do you think about it? Thanks.
BILL NYE: So is there such a thing as free will? The answer is clearly “it depends what you mean.” So I am so compelled by these tests where they have brain scans going on, working real time, and then the subject is asked to make a choice. And they can see on the brain scan that the choice has already been made before the person is able to articulate it or even watch the choice had been made have it bounce back and forth and then settle on another choice.
This is a wonderful question, but that there is no free will-that, to me, is an extraordinary claim, because I feel that I have made choices - and this might be what you’re driving at-I feel that I have made choices freely based on things that have happened around me, based on the environment and my experiences and my perception of the experiences of others.
So in other words if there really were absolutely no free will could you then predict what every single person in the universe or on Earth is going to do and where he or she will end up. And then furthermore can that not be influenced by some cosmic force or forces that we can’t assess? It could be. It just doesn’t seem reasonable.
I think much more reasonable is: our brains are complicated, and they got t...

This Made Me Dumber...
REDDIT Is LITTERALLY THE WORST Website On The Internet. They Keep Banning Me, When TH-cam Bans Someone From The Comments It's Temporary, But When F.U.C.K.I.N.G REDDIT Does It, It's Eternal Oblivion.
F.U.C.K REDDIT!!!
ITS AWFUL!!!
IT'S TERRIBLE!!!!!
REDDIT ALSO SUPPORTS, ANTITHEIST RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS LITTERALLY THE WORST SITE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
If I Ever Come Across A Reddit Plushies I Would Burn It In Live Camera.
I Would Litterally Burn Down The Reddit Building And Then Litterally EXPLODE If I Get Arrested, I Should Go To Heaven For Destroying Such A Horrible Place.
TH-cam Is The BEST Website Ever When Compared To F'U'C'K'I'N'G Reddit.
I Would Give This ZERO STARS If I Could, Actually Less, NEGATIVE FIVE Stars Is What I Would Give If I Could.
That's How TERRIBLE Reddit Is, It's AN ACCURSED DICTATORSHIP!!!!!!!!!
DISGUSTING!!!
People (The Guests That Make This Show FUCKING POSSIBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!) Call The Atheist Experience Then The Atheist Experience Treats Them Like Crap And Calls Them Stupid.
What A TERRIBLE Way To Treat Their Guests.
You Show No Shame.
You Have NO RIGHT To Call Your Guests Stupid.
The Only Thing These People Are Stupid For Is FUCKING CALLING The Atheist Experience, NOBODY Should Call Such An EVIL Show That Treats Their Guests Like Shit, So If You EVEN DARE To Call These People (YOUR GUESTS) Stupid, Then SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
Religion Improves Lives.
There Are No Victims Of Religion.
I Am Going To Start Off By Saying;
WOW! Okay So Everything You Said Is Ultra Stupid, First, The Truth Is That CONCIOUSNESS Cannot Be Created Or Destroyed, Said So By Physics (Which You CLEARLY Know Nothing About) Second, There Is A GOD But It Never Answers Prayers Or Intervenes In Any Way Because Of What People Did 2020 Years Ago. Third, The 21 Grams Lost When We Die Is The Soul Leaving The Body, And Finally Near Death Experiences Proved That There Is An AfterLife. So You Are Clearly Dumb, Atheists Defys Science Therefore Atheism Is Stupid, Nihilism Defys Physics Therefore It is Stupid.
So Damn Your Ultimate Stupidity And Stop Spreading Satanic Lies And False Information.
Consciousness Comes From The SOUL And NOT The Brain, We Are Spirits That Have A Body And If You Fail To Comprehend The Most Scientific FACTS Then You Are IDIOTIC!!!!!!!!!!
As A Nihilist You Defy Physics And Lie About It Just To Bully People, How Immoral And Stupid Are You?
I Think You Are Just Fucking Scared Of The AfterLife Because You Want To Live In Your Sins😂💥🔫
Without A GOD, You Are A Worthless Peice Of Shit ROFLMAO😂🤣😂🤣
Without An AfterLife, Everything You Do Is Completely Meaningless ROFLMAO 🤣😂🤣😂
Yeah Sure The Brain Damage Can Alter Your Personality, But You Would Still Be Aware, That Is YOU The Soul.
Souls Have Also Been Proven To Sleep And Faint, Which Is Why Near Death Experiences Are Confusing But 100% Real.
THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE YOU FUCKING SHITPISS SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes There Is Most Likely A BeforeLife
What Are The Chances Of YOUR Sperm Cell Making It To The Uterus?
1/1000000!
It's Likely That You Were A Sperm Cell That Died Then Became A Sperm Cell That Made It To The Uterus.
Think About It, If Your Sperm Cell Died Then You Would Have Still Been In Oblivion.
There Was Nothing, An Organism Was Born, It Had YOUR Awareness.
It's Likely To Happen After You Die;
Nothing, Organism Born, YOUR AWARENESS!!!! Life.
As A Spiritual Person I Think This Show Is Ectoranium To Ghosts, But You Must Treat Your Guests With Respect! Okay?
Atheists/Nihilists/Antitheists Are LIARS!!
GOD's Ultimate Program Has Been Left Behind.
The AfterLife Has Been Proven To Exist In Near Death Experiences And Out Of Body Experiences.
Ghosts Have Been Seen.
People Remember Past Lives.
Atheists Spread FALSE WITNESS All The Time.
Oblivion Seems Like A Whole Lot Of FICTION!!
Like You Just Escaped The Entire UNIVERSE And All Of EXISTENCE You Escaped SPACE And TIME.
You Escape REALITY!!!!!
So THAT IS TOTAL FICTION!!!!!!!!
The AfterLife Makes A Whole Lot More Sense, Because You STAY In The Universe, Existence, Space And Time, And Reality.
You Atheists Talk About Thinking REAL But The Ironic Thing Is That If You Escape Reality Then That Makes It The FURTHEST Thing Away From Reality.
The AfterLife? Now THAT'S Talking REAL ! Because You ACTUALLY STAY In Reality.
IDIOT!!!
FOOL!!!
BUFFOON!!!!
STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!
I do not see any reason to believe this and hell when I was growing up my religion said there was none. JW do not believe in heaven or hell
Where can I ask a question like this? I have a question.
I once asked a monk what will happen to him after he dies. He replied, "I don't know, I've never been dead."
@ً I get what your saying but I think 'bullshit reasons' is very harsh. Many people have witnessed things in loved ones as they passed, many people who have had near death experiences have claimed seeing this or that. This is not even counting Bible or religious beliefs and whats written there. Not 'knowing' what happens after death? sure. 'Bullshit reasons' because they don't want to admit they are wrong? Certainly not the case in many people.
@Cruz your saying there is evidence that ghosts are real but they have been proven to be....not.
@Cruz agreed, I also believe much of it is indeed faked but my point is that there is much we simply do not know and so I dont rule out anything anymore.
The absence of evidence isn't exactly the evidence of absence. We just cant say that there's nothing there because no one has or can find it. Once upon a time, the most brilliant of minds once believed the earth is flat and that the atom was the smallest thing ever. I think that thinks like the afterlife, gods, angels, demons, and ghosts are just too complex for human brain to process and understand even with modern science
Actually, the monk has been dead before! What about all the time before they were born?!
I love the realness, he doesn't sugar coat things for the kids
Sonia Anastasia It's funny when not even bill nye can explain the very structure and information coding of the universe to carry out its duty so finely without giving the insight to believe God can exist.
Kronikz Gaming Well what god is it that exists? There have been thousands of gods that existed throughout the history of mankind. Which one is the real one?
@Clorox Bleach naming things is a human concept. No other living things gives each other or things names. So perhaps God is actually nameless and humans give it different names and lore.
J.J. Possibly, the universe is definitely complex so I’m not saying that there is no supreme being at all. Just out of thousands it’s almost impossible to determine which one is the right one. Unless of course it really is just one god and humans are the ones who make up the stories about the god. That was a good point though.
Holy Ghost First off I’m not an Atheist I’m Agnostic. Second, when did I say anything about the White House being haunted? Like why did you even bring that up? Also, you do know that everything they show on History Channel isn’t true right? After all this is the same channel that had the show Ancient Aliens. I only believe in things if I have had first hand experience. I don’t blindly believe in something just because people say it or just because it’s on the History Channel. I have never experienced anything weird at my own house so my conclusion as of now is that ghosts aren’t real and that there’s a rational explanation for what these people saw. Now, if I ever experienced something unexplainable I may change my mind, but as of now that’s what I believe.

This very realization can be very traumatizing and terrifying. It keeps me up at night knowing one day you will die and never be able to experience consciousness again. Man... I don't think there's anything that's scarier out there than this besides dying only having lived an unfulfilled life.
Yeah, that's a very common experience. When I was about 5-6 years old (I can't remember exactly) I fully realized that eventually everyone dies, including myself. The full realization of my own mortality was so devastatingly sad I cried for about 15 minutes straight.
If there's an easy way of dealing with the existential dilemma (knowing that eventually we cease to exist), I haven't found it and I've been trying to figure it out much of my adult life.
@Tidder T
How so? He describes how scary the prospect of death is and I agree.

Can't exactly call it working well, there are mental conditions where the person imagines things in fear and unable to live a normal life, tho I guess I took the example a bit far
So we aren't inclined towards true beliefs. Just ones that help our survival.
Bill Nye looks like Abe Lincoln.

Yup, he looks like Bill Lincoln, or perhaps Abe Nye ;) .

I come to this video when I am stupid and tired and am having silly thoughts that scare me into being scared and need support
I feel similar
I'm just finding this video for the first time, and it makes me incredibly happy and extremely content. I needed this. In short, same !
I’m sorry to tell you but there is literally weird shit in the world we can’t explain.
When I was 10 years old, I helped my 60 year old neighbor clean her deceased in-law parents’ house. I was upstairs in the back bedroom (by myself) where her father-in-law passed away and I was cleaning the windows with my back towards the door. You know that feeling you get when someone is staring at you? Well I felt that. I’m 23 years old now and I can still remember what that felt like. I quickly turned around and saw no one there. I felt sick to my stomach and freaked out, I ran downstairs and never went back up stairs again. So idk man. Also on the other side of the house (it was an empty townhouse) another lady was cleaning a room and heard a child giggle & smelt old perfume in the basement. Another lady saw curtains move with no breeze
I'm just going to put it this way I believe in the Bible and I believe a higher being made this Earth there has to be a creator for this Earth there is no such thing as a big bang you got to look at the house that is built that you're living in there had to be a Creator right so I believe there is a very powerful creator for this Earth and all the universes that surround it and all the milky way and everything beyond the milky way and I do believe in the holy spirit amen
Barry Keller, I believe in the Bible too.
It was probably a demon you felt watching you
Xander Mohan yeaaa I don’t know about that. I know the feeling you’re describing and this wasn’t it. I was minding my business with my back facing the different direction and cleaning windows. It felt like someone came in the room and was watching me. I wasn’t the only who experienced something there. My mom had a dream about a random man and told my neighbor about what the man looked like. My neighbor found a stack of old photos from the house I cleaned up and my mom saw the same man in the one photo. It was her husbands great grandfather who also died in the house. I am fairly confident that house in haunted.
Xander Mohan also I know the difference between what is real and what isn’t.
man, and I thought bill nye was smart. dude doesn't even know he was a ghost all along.
Damn, he fell for the old Shyamalan twist.
I see dead people.
😁
Perhaps he made a boo-boo.
Wow heavy man!
Ghosts are real! Last night I went to the bathroom and I saw a poop inside the toilet bowl, but nobody was there! Scary.
That must've been some real scary shit.
Well, everybody know that poops are ghosts. That's not up for debate
You forgot to flush
Sugar Buns same thing but there was nut on my bed sheet wait nvm that was me
JR William you must be fun at party’s
you know what, it really made me happy how you talked about your grandma. I also like painting and picking herbs, and learning new things.. so I was like "I want to be remembered by my grandchildren like she is".
Bill Nye has never lived in a haunted house. Some of us have seen and heard things that can’t be explained by wind, rattling pipes, etc. I told whatever it was to piss off and the thing taunted me. It wasn’t evil like in the movies. It seemed mischievous and playful. I wrote it off until someone else who lived there after me if I’d experienced strange phenomena.
Ghosts are agreed .....
Xander Mohan No, not really. I can say with certainty that if you experienced what I did in that house, you’d wonder how it was possible.
I consider myself a rational person. I cannot absolutely discout the possibility of life after death (or some sort of existence, anyway). The universe is vast and incredibly strange, and the nature of consciousness has not yet been fully accounted for. So, maybe, just maybe, this life is not all there is.
However, I am absolutely sure that anyone who claims to have any knowledge, certainty, evidence or hope of life after death is either a charlatan or has succumbed to (very natural) wishful thinking.
if it's rational to not discount the possibility of life after death, then why isn't it rational to give people to claim to have knowledge of it a chance? (i agree with you but you seemed to contradict yourself there)
3 for 3. I think everyone here has tackled the various epistemological approaches to the afterlife rather sufficiently.
Josh Partridge I'm not saying that we shouldn't give people who claim to have knowledge a chance. We have. Many people throughout many decades have subjected their claims to much scrutiny, and have come up with absolutely zero credible evidence of the truth of their statements. That's where my surety comes from.
However, science has extreme difficulty proving a negative (indeed it is arguably impossible). That is why I say I cannot absolutely discount the possibility of life after death.
***** What exactly are some of the things you're assuming I don't say 'I cannot absolutely discount' about?
Technically I cannot, indeed, absolutely discount the existence of Santa Claus. I can say with an extreme degree of certainty that he does not exist. And, as I suggested in my first comment, I am almost entirely certain that there is no form of existence after death. But I would deem the possibility of existence after death almost infinitely more likely than the existence of Santa Claus. Although these two things are both massively unlikely, there is still an important difference between how we can assess that teeny, tiny likelihood.
The supposition that Santa Claus exists posits a world which is vastly different from the world we apparently inhabit. His existence would overturn our understanding of reality itself, in many different ways.
The supposition that there is existence after death, however, would not necessarily have to overturn quite so much. Yes, it would have to overturn the notion that our consciousness is entirely the product of the physical structure and chemical makeup of our brain. And that's one hell of a big concept to overturn, no doubt. Any attempts to demonstrate otherwise have met with zero success.
But given that the precise nature of consciousness is not known (and may never be known), the concept of existence after death would not have to overturn as much of our knowledge. Is that evidence for its existence? Absolutely not. But it is sufficient for me to say that, yes, it cannot be absolutely discounted.
As a side note, the fact that consciousness seems to be entirely the result of physical structures actually seems to me to not entirely negate the possibility of life after death, and may in fact enhance it. If my consciousness truly is the result of a combination of atoms, electrons, quarks and whatever, arranged in a certain way in a certain pocket of spacetime, then in a manner of speaking I'm already immortal. You can't kill a combination, after all. You can disassemble it, but it can be reassembled too.
Anyhoo, that's just idle speculation.
***** Oh. Well, okay then. I'll just say, then, that regardless of whether 'no one talks like that', I'm just using words precisely.
good answer! much respect to Bill Nye

An open letter to people who use the term, "life energy"....
Energy is not a nebulous word with a mysterious aura surrounding it. Energy is, in fact, objective, quantifiable, and extremely specific. How many joules of "life energy" does it take to power a 15-W light bulb for an hour? Is it more, or less entropic than mechanical energy? Is it conservative, is it potential? Either these all have very specific answers, or you might as well start replacing the term "life energy" with "fairy magic."
There's no doubt in my mind that people will read this and get all defensive, start accusing me of being narrow minded or whatever. But please understand, you're pointing to a mail box and calling it a light house: it would be wrong of me not to inform you of the difference. If what you mean is the spirit, then perhaps it would be best to just say the spirit. This is, of course, entirely up to you. But just know that every time you say "life energy," you're exposing yourself as a science illiterate to everyone around you.
Seems like most agree, seeing as how ppl've liked it
Not if everyone around you is also a science illiterate
REAL Gaming that group of people who all say things like, "if ghosts don't exist then why are some rooms cold? Why are there radio waves in rooms without radios? Science can't explain that. My house creaks and that's how I know my house is haunted" .... -_-
Yes they are many, but they're not on this video, like us: we follow scientific channels and see every of their videos, and very occasionaly we go laugh on religious, new age and conspiracy videos, and obscurantists of all kinds do the same thing the opposide side, so every ideologic video is filled with people of the same kind, so no one will disagree here^^
Amanda Lee Dube I hope this is a joke
What if consciousness is the most fundamental thing of the universe, instead of being an emergent property. Whithin the field we call reality, sentience can emerge, but not consciousness. Consciousness was always there to begin with. That's why no one has ever lost consviousness in this life: Because losing consciousness is not an experience, so you won't experience the time of unconsciousness, meaning you will always be conscious - it's the fundamental thing of reality.
@Fred Fannakapan exactly, he's just talking nonsense because he's afraid of not existing one day, which I agree with that part. It's only natural to want to believe any other alternative besides the fairly obvious reality. I guess that's why I watch videos on this topic. But it's no excuse to make crap up.
People with dementia literally lose counciosness. When its really bad in the later stages they can't even recognize themselves in a mirror. And forget how to do simple things like put on a t shirt.
@Fred Fannakapan But did you experience the loss of consciousness while you were unconscious? If not, then that's my point: you can't experience the time of unconsciousness, and if you did experience it, then you weren't unconscious. Point being that consciousness for you is a continuous and eternal property that is the only thing that doesn't change: only the space of it, or the content of consciousness changes, and whatever that content is you have no way of telling for sure whether it's real or not. What you and a lot of people must really mean when talking about "loss of consciousness" is merely the mind shutting off, not working, or losing its memory, but neither of the properties related to that, which roughly speaking makes up the psychology and accumulated, but impermanent mind patterns, are what we could call pure consciousness, or awareness.

Best Bill Nye quote I ever heard was: "What does it mean to be a sceptic? Hey, I'm Bill. Do I believe in ghosts? No. Would I like to see one. Absoluetely, bring it on! But as long es there is no evidence, I reamn sceptical to the idea."

Ghosts and life after death seem quite illogical to me so I'm quite skeptical about it. However, as a non-believer there are things that happened in my life and strange occurrences after my parents' death that defy all logic. Also there are cases where NDE (near death experiences) cannot be explained scientifically. The brain can have powerful hallucinations when it's under stress but it still doesn't provide a satisfactory account for many of these NDE cases. So I wonder if there is some other realm other than our present existing reality.
could you go into detail about one of these accounts that defyed logic
Theres something unknown and interesting about Near Death Experiences, check out Elisabeth Kubler Ross, she is a Psychiatrist, and have written plenty of books, about this and other matters WITH SCIENTIFIC STUDIES and evidence.

With all due respect to your personal experiences, "you can't explain it" is not evidence of the supernatural, any more than it's evidence that giant purple cats made of uranium live on mars.
ok i got a reading from another medium a few days ago i like to give reviews ok. one thing he said he said my dads name ok then he said my dad had a bear mad of silver he had in his pocket every day that only i knew of next thing he said its your grandma loved her bible and she hated the last 3 digits of your dads phone number and the last 3 digits before my dad past away was 666 now this person new nothing about me gave him a fake name before i went there and also said aj when i was there thought it was a miss and then i saw later that my grandmas real name is aj ok and this is not rare reading go this good all the time with many people
"This life is all you get!" 👍
Actually there can be "ghosts" as hallucinations but that's extremely rare or if someone is suffering from a particular disorder, but there are no real ghosts for sure. If you are afraid of the dark just watch some comedy for a few minutes before settling down to sleep.
P.S.
Just read the comments below and it will do...
Yes 👍👍👍smart person💖
What? So now a hallucination is enough proof that the hallucination itself is real? That's some circular reasoning.
YOU ARE A FOOL!!!!
ONLY FOOLS DENY THE AFTERLIFE!!!!!!!!!
I have been thinking, I believe in heaven and hell. But I've been thinking, and I have realized that if their isn't a after life. Then it would be the same before you were born. It would be empty, you wouldn't know anything. And you have all ready experienced it before you where born for, all time before you where born. This kept me up and gave me anxiety for a long time. But we have already expierienced it. So we shouldn't be afraid.

@@gudgen2004 I don't know about that..however Bill Nye might convince himself that God is not necessary to be good but he cannot tell us without an external universal moral basis as to why we ought to help promote humanity's well being. He has to explain why our existence/survival matters if on the cosmic scale perspective we really don't matter.
@Jim Sirette You're assuming that there's sort of universal standard and objective/intrisnic meaning/purpose to our existence. But you deny that basis because it would require a universal supreme moral lawgiver. Why should it matter if we continue to exist as a species or become extinct? We're only here for a finite time as individuals or even as a species.. Evolution doesn't care. species have come and gone extinct.the universe doesn't care..whether we survive or go extinct. It got along just fine without us for billions of years..and will do so long after we're gone.

As A Spiritual Person I Think This Show Is Ectoranium To Ghosts, But You Must Treat Your Guests With Respect! Okay?
Sounded like he on the verge of crying when he said "My beloved grandmother." So wholsome.
I still lean towards the possibility of an afterlife, but the most significant argument I've ever heard in support of oblivion is this one:
Ok, so let's say there IS an afterlife, and you go to it, and it's great. Does your dog or cat go to an afterlife too? It's probably different. A simpler afterlife, one more suited towards the blessings a housepet would enjoy. What about rodents, fish, birds, and lizards? An afterlife even simpler? What about bugs and spiders? Wow, such a simple afterlife. A patch of grass, a fern? All it desires is to stretch out under the sun. What about microbes? Ah, an afterlife filled with amino acids to nibble on. Viruses? An afterlife filled with DNA to merge with? Rocks? Do rocks get an afterlife? Do rocks die? Is the afterlife of a rock filled with hills to roll down? Life is a flawless gradient from simple to complicated. Where's that line where this entity gets an afterlife, and that one doesn't.
***** Do viruses?
***** That was my point. Life is a gradient. From complicated to can't really be considered alive and everything in between. So congratulations, you understand.
That's interesting. The way I think of it is this: what would an infinity of pleasure be like? What sort of joy could you experience forever without ever getting bored? I don't think there is such a thing: there is no pleasure without pain, no joy without sorrow.
Besides, what an incredible waste of resources! Billions of people just doing nothing forever? Imagine what COULD be done with that time, instead of just satisfying all your juvenile desires....
***** A theoretical future where we achieve that technology is completely different from the christian notion of heaven. I do, in fact, think that highly intelligent species all tend towards that: a future lived in a made-to-order virtual reality. But as long as children are still starving to death and the planet's still dying slowly from carbon emissions, god's a dick if he has the resources available to keep dead people around for an infinity just beating each other off.
***** Even then, however, (sorry, I didn't think of this until after the fact) I don't think what we'll have is unlimited pleasure. Such a thing is impossible. How can you appreciate pleasure without pain? That's just a vacant mind.
"Hi my name is Marsalina"

See this is what I dont like. As Scientists we never say we dont believe in something. In 1900 nobody thought we could fly and in 1903 it was finally a dream made reality. Science has yet to explain many things. So as for do we go to heaven or an afterlife it is still very much so possible. Remember just because you cant see something does not mean it doesn't exist. Air, Gravity, Music ;)) Keep Thinking Big!
+G M. H. You are conflating not believing in something with believing that something is not real.
Your not looking at the facts. The concept of flying is as at least a visual. You can see things like birds and flying animals which prove that. And where tf are you getting that “in 1900 we thought we couldn’t fly” people have quite clearly known you can fly some how. You are clearly not a scientist.
You can't see Air, Gravity or Music but you can measure and observe them.
God bless all of you!😊❤
@@Naturefairy331 Which God are you asking to bless us?
I've thought about it quit a bit and what I've come up with from my own experiences and research is is that when you die your energy, the thing that makes you you ends up in the magnetic field around earth then goes around the suns magnetic field around the solar system till it comes back to earth, from which you are born again in another body. Take this like you will, it's just what I believe happens. whatever you believe, if it makes you happy than you are not wrong.
The human mind and fear/anxiety combined are powerful things. Combine that with a strong desire. And you get tv shows
Strong desire sounds like America to me.
Explain the footsteps my family heard upstairs (straight up and down footsteps not little creaks), the doors SLAMMING behind my brother when everyone else is asleep, My dog barking and chasing air, my mom hearing banging on the door of her room in the middle of the night and my little sister heard it to (we have a security system so there is a camera outside her door,nobody was in the house), the light turning on by itself (PHYSICALLY PUSHING ITSELF ON) when we were talking about spirits, my brother seeing something that looked like a women going up our stairs one night, my sister crying and screaming saying she saw SOMEONE on the couch one morning(nothing was there). I believe that's paranormal we have cameras in our house there is no intruder in the footage.
Explain spirit boxes aswell
You don't only have cameras in your house, you also have stupidity. Congratulations!
A spirit box sweeps through different frequencies picking up random chunks of audio from broadcast, and other radio stations.
Google infrasound and it's effect on humans.
those are demons my friend...I experienced almost the same things that you said....they played with Ouija board and demons didnt leave that house.........I believe the demons, angels, satan, God creator all of them are real, I believe the Bible
God's Child Can't salt and sage also help with that stuff?
I honestly wouldn't mind either scenario. Personally, it makes the most sense to me that within each living thing there's energy, and like the law of conservation of energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed, so our life essence would probably get recycled in one way or another. Would we still keep the same conscience? Doesn't seem to be likely. But hey, at least we get to live on in another form, with probably an equal amount of self-loathing.
redlegagent Pretty much goes in accordance with another version of my previous assumption. We get dispersed throughout the world and universe, much like our matter does, and get converted into other forms of energy. I personally have a few people in mind that I would like to infest with my former life essence as a final fuck you.
redlegagent But that's completely disregarding the power that the brain has. From what I've learned just my 2 psychology classes thus far, the brain has a lot of room to develop. Could it be possible that this "life force" is incapable of memory and must rely on a well-developed brain? And yes, every atom in our body does come from stardust but energy isn't composed of atoms is it? It's the melding of the 2 that leads to the creation of life. Although I'm not gonna pretend like I know how all that works because the reality is that nobody knows how it works. We can only speculate and ponder until we can speculate and ponder no more.
redlegagent I think that our conversation is getting to the point of pseudoscience. While it is thought-provoking all this really is is just speculation. All I know is that we don't know. And that is what frustrates us more than anything. We're a curious lot that wants to know as much as possible. From learning about the mysteries of space to the reason for life to even exist to social intelligence. When we're met with a question that can never be answered a vast number of us can't accept that and will persist to find the answer. I personally don't have a fucking clue but it's fun to hypothesize. I'll just default to the force.
redlegagent Also there's other explanations for ghosts. I've had several paranormal encounters and all of them were when I was in a fatigued state of mind (hence probably why ghost sightings are usually found during the night). If ghosts are real then there's still the possibility that the energy still maintained intact for a certain time being. Ok, getting any further just makes way too many what-ifs so I'm just gonna stop myself there.
I'm a total skeptic. But I was working upstairs in an old house and I legit heard normal footsteps run up the stairs and stop at the door. It was so normal sounding that it didn't even make me feel anything except expecting to see someone open the door and enter the room. The steps had weight to them like a real person just happily quickly coming upstairs and to the door... well, I was looking at the door waiting on whoever was there to come in and never even thought of it not being a living person until I waited long enough to get up myself and go open the door to see who it was and why they were just standing there. I swear to you, NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE HOUSE. NO ONE WAS AT THE DOOR AND NO ONE WAS ON THE STAIRCASE. Please someone explain this to me!! I'm not a believer in ghosts but this shit was a real phenomenon I experienced and I need to understand it!
Well Ghosts are real so you probably encountered some sort of entity.
"Life energy" LOL
I'd love to see Bill go into a "haunted" location, see if he can catch something and dissect the video and audio. Do it as a entertaining show for charity and as a scientific experiment, win-win.
Pointless as he thinks anything that doesn't have a rational explanation is just imagination, even though it all does. There is nothing new under the sun. Literally everything has an explanation you just might not know what it is. People have been having obe's since forever, that alone proves we aren't limited to our physical bodies. So called scientists like him aren't real scientists, they are paid shills. A real scientist knows that science is always changing and that anything is possible. Ignaz Semmelweis for example, knew hand washing and washing instruments saved lives but he was put in a mental institution where he died.
He said he did that. Lots of scientists have tried it and no ghosts. And anything can be done to make a creepy video. Since there's no agreed criteria for what even IS a ghost, anyone can say anything is a ghost.

But why did it time out so perfectly and answered all our questions? Pls someone explain that if there is no after life.
Have a video of it and you will be rich
Every time I've ever heard a ghost story touted to be not just a shared misconception of physics and shadows meaning a cloaked yet present personality is reaching out from the grave for my attention, I have never yet been too impressed. It's always "you'll have to do better than that" for all these decades I've lived so far. There are better things rooted in reality that are more inline with adult thinking like inventing and fixing what doesn't work or work out in the long run.
Same. People are always like 'I didn't believe but then I witnessed it. I was home and something moved a bit or I heard an unexplained noise or the light was a bit weird. Now I believe in ghosts!!'
There's always, ALWAYS a jump from 'unexplained event' to 'it must be ghosts' that only those who want ghosts to be real make.
This is the logic that makes people believe God creates thunder and praying heals the sick. Ignorance or willful blindness. That's it.
It’s interesting that deep inside he is not happy to accept this, but he knows it is the most logical choice to make. He does not cheat himself with lies.
Exactly. Sean Carroll has also stated he's sad there's no afterlife.
I became sad, but the way of thinking was unavoidable. God died, and I killed him on accident.

I don't know. I'm still skeptic. It's a confusing topic that I feel isn't supported enough by facts to make claims about. Ghosts, sure, they might not be real because of human brains, as he says, but what about an afterlife? No one has any fact behind it, only baseless reasoning (i.e. faith, premonitions, etc.). I think the idea of death and dying is terrifying, but I feel that it's less terrifying when you believe or hope for something in the end, rather than accepting it early on in life. It's a weird thought, I suppose, but to me, it's accurate. I'm not religious by any means, but I feel that there's something after just from instinct. Even one of the smartest men on Earth is unsure and thinks about if often, so who knows.
Ghosts are real.
Afterlife is kinda hard to explain but just know this current life is not the end.
Well our conciousness and sense are caused by the signal from our nervous system to our brain. When we die, our brain wouldnt work anymore therefore we cannot feel, we cannot "aware"
We will just space out, blank, or something, idk
We will not be aware untill we are aware again. That is why i think reincarnation makes sense.
but who am i to say, idk shit
Houdini’s secret word was actually given to his wife Bess and we DO know what it is, it’s two words, ROSABELLE BELIEVE. She offered $10,000 if anyone could get in touch with his spirit and she gave up after ten years giving an interview revealing the phrase and that no one ever contacted him.
Ironically, an even better argument for your points than “we don’t know it was secret!”
I don't know about ghosts but I have seen apparitions and I know many others have also. I believe there is an afterlife also. The purpose of life is to feel unconditional love for all life. Easier said than done.
The whole point of life is to learn and you never know when this might be your last life or first....
I also agree ghosts are real.....
I thought this too until I and 5 of my (adult, sane, sober) friends saw things in my house moving on their own. Several times. It wasn't the wind. If Bill can tell me WHAT would convince him, that would be interesting. We have photos, videos, recordings...but of course nobody will believe them because they were not there. There is NO WAY to convince someone unless it happens to them. And unfortunately, ghost appearances do not have a schedule. I do invite Bill Nye to stay in Julia's Room at La Posada in Santa Fe. He might change his mind.
Science has a tendency to deny things they can simply not confirm. It’s quite disappointing.
Without evidence, I think it would be most likely that people staying in such a place are having delusions by the power of suggestion, several nights without sleep and perhaps by poor indoor air quality like carbon monoxide poisoning and other pollutants from the gas stove or oil furnace, (now that a lot fewer people smoke indoors). As Carl Sagan said of supposed alien abduction reports, something might be happening, but it may be happening in the mind.
With video evidence the greatest likelihood is someone pulling a prank, or lying.
Finally, those promoting the idea of ghosts, it's up to them to prove it, not scientists to disprove it. For instance, if you record objects moving, seemingly of their own accord, what is the mechanism for that? Scientists can go out to the desert flatland to figure out how stones seem to be moving of their own accord and consider ice forming under them and measuring the wind. People don't just say, "It must be ghosts who like to move stones around."

Bill if you ever get this message. I was once a skeptic, but I actually out forth the effort to really investigate ghost's. Bill myself and my son's 15 took my Sony recorder / mic . We went to a very old cemetery and out in the recorder and asked several respectful questions. Now again it's myself and my son and it's 12:30 am, nobody around for a couple of miles. I asked a question at the grave sight of the caretaker who basically developed and was influential in opening the old cemetery. I asked hint in front of his grave a question about the cemetery that I couldn't figure out. Nobody could, it was about a bug miseleum at the front of the cemetery that was completely walked off with large stones and cement. I asked the dead caretaker if he could please tell me what that moseleum was used for. I received a crystal clear answer in my recorder that was spoken directly in the mic because it was so clear and loud. In a deep well spoken voice he clearly said " it was used to photograph the dead , it was a very beautiful place for families to photograph there dead ". That was all he would say. Now Bill we were the only 2 people in the cemetery at 12:30 am in the morning and that means voice was spoken into my mic that I was holding in my hand 1 foot in front of me. Since then I've accumulated over 200 EVO's . Here's my offer give me 1 hour if your time and go to that cemetery with me and I am 100 percent possitive by the end of that hour you will hear and see things that even you could not explain baway by science. I have to say this day and age someone as smart as you can just right off something that is so very simple to prove. If Bill Bye is alone in a cemetery with a recorder and gets direct answers through his recorder that are loud clear and intelligent answers to 10 out if 10 questions you ask and your 100 percent alone, How could you refute that evidence. Until you let someone like myself to price this to you, please keep an open mind and stop giving people absolutely wrong answers that look to you for the true answers. My offer stand Bill and if I'm wrong I will now your lawn wash your car clean your house, basically do whatever you want me to do for an entire year, and if imy right all you have to do is just tell someone that asks the question are ghost's real simply say I never thought they were real, but I've heard or have seen things that I couldn't explain away by science. For $25.00 to buy a decent electronic recorder and a short amount of time, this question could be answered. Shame in you Bill if you don't even try this, because the answer is right in front of you and you have an obligation to give people correct answers. Sorry for the long message but I go have a lot of respect for you, but that respect is staying on the back burner until I read it see to hat you at least made the small effort. I hope you try and price me wrong and if you don't well I believe that deep down you know spirits exist but are afraid that your science buddies will make fun if you.👍👻👻

Sorry, beg to differ. A few months ago, I was told a story: My house-mate's brother suffered a heart attack on the operating table. When asked if there was anything 'after', he said "After I died, I sat up and looked around." All he saw was a grey nothingness. My belief is that he saw nothing because it simply wasn't his time to go and yes he is still alive today. He seems to overlook the fact he sat up in the middle of an operation without pain to look around!
from where is that painting in the beginning of the vid ? someone?
i figure if there is life after death, its more of a buddhist philosophy kind of thing where you just become pure energy and join the collective unconscious
Basically, no afterlife then?
Yeah I think it's pretty safe to say the dead are unconscious. 🙄 No offense to you personally but that teaching has always been stupid to me.
No, life after death if I’m either 2 ways. Heaven. Or Hell. It says in the end times there will be a falling away(people falling away from God). Notice how when time goes on it’s so hard to find a believer of Christ. Because what’s happening is exactly what the Bible is prophesying. I hope you will realize and turn to Christ before the Day of Christ is at hand.
@@walkingwithoursavior5742 Christianity is mythology, and has no connections to actual scientific theory. The bible was written by over a dozen people over a period of 1000 years that has been translated into dozens of languages and has been altered, rewritten, changed and had portions removed many times. Not only that but it was originally written in now dead languages so we have no idea if it even remotely resembles what it originally said. There is no valuable information to be gained from it for this reason and religion has no place in the modern world
@@Clarkkent163 not necessarily. It's a form of an afterlife because part of you is still living on after your physical body has died. It occupies a middle ground philosophically. Its not nothing like an atheist would believe but its also not something so fantastical as "paradise" or "hell" like a standard religion would believe either. Its more like your consciousness lives on and becomes part of the greater consciousness of everything thats ever lived or died.
I’m going to share some of my experiences because I have had strange experiences I cannot explain. And, even after going through these experiences, I am not sure I believe them myself. I am not trying to change anyone’s mind or make anyone believe in ghosts or anything like that. I am simply sharing what I have experienced. This will probably be a bit long, so skip my comment if you don’t want to read a lot. When I was young, I was playing my gameboy downstairs alone. I felt something scary watching me, got to a save point as soon as possible, then put my gameboy on top of my game storage case and ran up into my room. As soon as it was light, I went back downstairs and started playing again. I noticed five of my games had disappeared. No one had been downstairs since me. I know this because we have creaky stairs and you can hear when someone goes down them. I have never since found those games, even after we moved. Another experience, in the same house, was when I was playing a computer game in the office room. We have a door that is pushed to open and close. We have dogs that can open that door, but not close it. I was playing when I saw something black out of the corner of my eye. I turned slightly and clearly saw my dog, Daisy, lying down in the office. I looked back at my computer and kept playing. Next thing I knew, I heard a dog coming down the stairs. It was my dog, Daisy. The door to the office was shut. I have no idea what I saw to this day, but it was not my dog. I have also experienced a table shake fairly violently when no one was around it. There was another time when I was young that I had an experience. I was at a library known for being haunted by a lady. There was a game for children there that was to find the green apple out of all the apples hidden. If you did, you got a free book. I wandered off from all the adults and children. I’m not really sure why to this day. I just followed a feeling. I heard a lady’s voice saying to look under the bush, as I was looking at a tree with a bush. I quickly turned, but no one was there. No one could have talked in my ear then moved away back to the others that quickly. I looked under the bush and the green apple was there. I also had a weird experience with imaginary friends. Most of my imaginary friends I could not see and just ‘knew’ they were there. There was one, however, that was extremely vivid and clear to me. He was my best friend and we would play all the time. I knew all this stuff about his history. I could have just had a vivid imagination, but I do find it interesting that he was the only one like that. If anyone has any explanations for these experiences, I would love to hear them. I have been trying to explain them away for years.
Im Swedish. 48 yr old man and I moved to an island in Thailand 7 years ago and I've been living in 2 haunted houses. Live in one now. I'm not joking. Can't say exact but all Thai people, about 20-30 people say they've seen ghosts right in my homes. Men, women and children. But... I haven't. Probably because they don't exist. Have a Muslim family grave about 10 meters from my room. 7 dead people and I must say that they're very good and quiet neighbours. Ghosts exist in your imagination. On the other hand... Have had 8 cobras in my bedroom during my stay in koh lanta. That my friends, ghostly or living friends, are scary
even if we did live this life to the fullest its not like we could remember it because we wouldn't know anything their wouldn't be a darkness we would just be nothing, and yes technically you cant destroy energy which means our energy would "live" on but we would not be anything because our energy would become some other type of energy. Edit: this also means their is nothing in this world to truly be afraid of because yes the idea of not even nothing is scary but once we die we wont know that we are dead or know how long we have been alive and this is something i just realized which is calming, to me at least.
I find you to be a very intelligent and reasonable man. With that said however, i can assure everyone there is a lot more then just this reality/ realm/ life we are currently in. Not from a book, not from someone else told me but from my own experiences in life.
Im not going to claim that i know whats after life because that i dont know. All i do know is that there is more then math, senses and patterns can prove.
I also find most people on this world also living their lives to the minimum of their potentials, which is the biggest crime of it all.
I'd like to see a show with Bill and maybe a few other science buddies investigating haunted houses and various paranormal activity.
They'll soon realise that saying shit such as ghosts aren't real will not work well when haunted houses and shit 💀💀
@@Clarkkent163 Reddit is full of stories and videos.
Come on, it's so easy to verify : visit those god-damn houses, dammit !
All science can do is to give some psychological arguments of why you'd imagine that.
Or simply tell you, "science doesn't waste time on irrelevant things such as ghosts".
As much I love Bill Nye's little opening for a probability of an afterlife existing (as he said at the end of this video), I doubt the research on haunted houses he talked about was serious. You'd fine articles in scientific magazines for that, but nothing of that to be found.
Yassss
@@alexale5488 Before I read _The Demon-Haunted World_ by Carl Sagan, I used to think that there should be more scientific funding to investigate things like ghosts, aliens and the "paranormal." Many people want these things to be real.
One of my takeaways is that scientists would have to bring with them slight-of-hand artists like Penn and Teller, because there's a lot of fraud and chicanery in convincing people for instance that a house is haunted, or crop circles are not man-made.
Another is that it's up to those who make extraordinary claims (e.g. "I saw Bigfoot") to prove that what they're saying is real, not for scientists to run around disproving every lie, delusion, or "unexplained phenomenon," that people come up with.
@@alexale5488I’ve been to a few haunted houses and nothing happened
If there really was an afterlife, you would be bored within the 1st 1000 years easily. Then you've got an infinite amount of time to do things you've already done. Having an afterlife would be boring asf and depressing, nothingness is quite a relief when you think about it.
I'm so sorry Bill, I say yes I believe in them because I experienced it before. I've seen so much that if I were able to tell you, you wouldn't believe me.. I Believe that our world is full of mysteries and unexplainable things.
when people ask me "what happens after we die" I usually aswer that question with another question: "How did it felt before you were born?"
Or in deep non REM sleep
Houdini cannot escape God’s power. Invalid argument Bill.
Of course
Lol, which God? There are thousands.
Love Bill Nye and I think he possesses one of the most intelligent minds the on this earth. I would like to share a personal experience though that made me question the possibility of an afterlife. Back in 2006 I was 20 years old and I was visiting a new friends house for the first time. I had no prior knowledge of the home other than the fact it was 114 years old and built in the old South. I had been in many houses that were old and never had any odd experiences; however, I experienced something I will never forget that day. I was talking to my friend and her mom in their living room and I kept getting this overwhelming feeling of someone watching me and I kept seeing a shadow move in the back room about 30 feet away . I was completely sober and in no way stoned or drunk. After he third time I saw a man appearing in the corner where the shadow had been moving. I looked briefly and saw he had a suit and had the blackest eyes. I didn't hang around. I just simply walked out the door. The girl came out to my car and said "you saw him didn't you?" I told her I definitely saw something and she got a picture from her house of the SAME MAN I saw . Apparently he had been murdered in the 1940s but some said suicide. She said, he appeared almost every night at 9 but would make his presence known when new people came. I just don't know how to explain it. I do believe in God and even though I don't know what waits I do believe there is something in the afterlife and that somehow our consciousness continues. If matter is neither created of destroyed, I wonder where our energy goes. If we do indeed have a soul, is it completely separate and does our energy manifest itself into apparations? I would love any thoughts or similar experiences.
I was 23 in 2009 when I experienced a ghost-like being in my house (which was only 7 years, but in the South so who knows what it might’ve been (a starving, runaway slave?)).
My dad would wake up at 4.30 every morning to go to work and anyone who happened to be awake around the same time could hear him yelling about all the cupboards in the kitchen being open (we had those plastic locks that were supposed to prevent them from being opened (we had a cat who craved Doritos and bread)).
Anyways, I was up late studying when I heard some noises from the kitchen. Considering it was almost 2 a.m. I thought it was strange enough to go check it out. From the top of the stairs I could see the kitchen. The lights were off, but I could hear noises (the wheels of the drawers and the opening of cupboard doors). I said: ‘Hello?’ And immediately the air got sucked out from where I was standing and all of the cupboards and drawers shut creating a loud bang. I basically said: ‘WTF?’ the second before an apparition began running up the stairs towards me, charging with its mouth open. As soon as it reached me the hairs on my neck and arms stood up and I ran back to my room and jumped under the bed covers. Once I calmed down I walked downstairs to find my mom in the kitchen. Apparently she had been woken up by the sound that preceded the ghost’s charge. She asked, ‘What was that?’ ‘A ghost.’ ‘Again?’ Then she went back to bed.
Jeffrey Horton your story reminded me of this experience.
A guy I work with is very religious and has believed the hype that the world will end soon. It's made him give up on life, since he looks so forward to the afterlife. He even dumped toxic chemicals into a sewer because he didn't think it would matter. People really need to focus on how important it is to make the best of this life, even if you think there's, somehow, another.
There is no afterlife, there are no ghost ghouls or spectres. This life is precious and it's the only ome you get, use it well.
and well said Bill
you ever had a near death experience?
I didn't. But I dream a lot as well
Dominik Peschke you didn't what?
+Olly Barnes Near death expenses and the intense hallucinations people report during them have been explained away by science.
Ghost believer: GhOST ArE rEAl. I'Ve sEEn oNe BeFOrE
I've smelled one
The afterlife is real there no reason for millions of people to experience the same things in a out of body experience and near death experience. What they are trying to do is use the physical to study the spiritual this can't be done that way. The spirit world really is here. Right in front of you just higher vibration.
I don't like talking to religious people about the afterlife because they're just gonna try and make you believe what they believe and judge you for not being part of their religion. People like Bill Nye and Steven Hawking just try to be realistic about it. They give you the hard truth that there most likely isn't an afterlife. And they give you scientific. reasoning and research.
Skeptics Unite!!!
Although I want to believe this there was a time when i reached under my bead and felt someone grab my hand and try to pull me. When i looked under my bed there was nobody. Maybe I 'm crazy but Im not sure how that could be explained 🤢
That's creepy
It could be explained by saying that you might have been hallucinating. There could be multiple reasons, presence of little carbon monoxide in your system, sleeplessness, depression etc.
The reason it is so natural to imagine an afterlife is because a state of conscious is all we know. Imagining an unconscious state is beyond our comprehension which is why it is not our instinct to imagine. But is it so crazy to believe in yourself not being conscious? I mean, we’re you conscious before you were born?

When he denied after life I took a hard thought of what if and I got dizzy so bad and now I’m more sad than usual :/
Its called anxiety, and that happens to everyone dont worry.
What if we die. And our lives are placed in a different dimension
That Is Exactly What Happens.
Science isn't always right. The afterlife is real as long as you believe in God.
That's right, Heaven is real as long as you believe in God.
Man, is Bill stayed in my house for a week he would have had a melt down knowing how wrong he was all the years...we have seen things...and I was 28 years old and it change me..
Richard Le Grange what happened?
There are many organizations who have offered ENORMOUS sums of money for actual evidence, but no one with claims like yours ever seems to be able to deliver the goods lol
Good answer but when it comes to the supernatural in general, tbe best answer is "I don't know." You can't say there is no evidence, you could only say if it's good or bad evidence
No one will change my mind about God. I don't care what you have to say. You won't change my mind and I won't change yours.
Then why bother posting a comment at all? If you're just espousing dogma, why even bother expressing yourself to others?
@@alankoslowski9473 I'm just expressing my feelings. Anyone can comment back. I'm just saying it won't change my mind.
The real answer: It doesn't matter. Because even if there was "proof", people would still debunk it.
I just can't fathom not having consciousness after death. I know I didn't have it before I was born but now that I am a mind inside a body I just love the mystery of where my consciousness will go after I die.
Oblivion town
I had a cardboard box with cards in it on a table and I noticed water seemed to be coming from the bottom. I picked up the box and water began dripping out of it. None of the cards were wet. I Don't know why it happened. I'm not just gonna assume it was a spirit though.
