Yea I guess I am equating the two coffee and I would include anything than can experience, so animals and whatever would qualify. Bricks and stones and plants I don’t think so. As for it being a function of the brain, I think there is a problem in reducing it to a mere process because there is nothing about a mere process that explains experience, agency and choice. A better explanation is needed. The reason I think it survives death is not just the evidence from NDEs and surgeons, but a philosophical issue regarding the difference between an event that can be recorded in memory storage like a brain or CD and the experience of the event or memory of an event. Experiencing an event doesn’t seem to be an event itself but something that witnesses an event, or can initiate an event. In this sense it doesn’t seem to exist in an ordinary physical way, and so doesn’t, if this is the case, exist in time either. Memory however does. There is also the philosophical issue of infinity in that humans have a grasp of infinity that mere computers do not, or cannot have, no matter how powerful.

Do Animals Have Souls?
by Cold Steel ini know most jehovah's witnesses believe in the soul sleeping doctrine.
by this, given that neither man nor beast has a spirit, but that they do possess souls (or "intelligences" unique to themselves).
where this intelligence resides between death and resurrection is more than a passing interest, but again, assuming that yehweh can recreate one's distict soul, does the society believe that animals have souls?

My brother says: Don't worry about 2052, we will be in paradise by then...
by Joliette ini was talking to my brother about a video that i saw about african genocide, and in the video this doctor that i listened to was saying based on his research he predicts that africans in different regions of africa will be scaled back by about 50% by the year 2052 (due to aids, food storages, etc).
my brother gave me a drive home from work and we were talking about this.
he said that we wont have to worry about that cause 2052 is never going to happen.

Mind you I would say that in a perverse way your brother has a point, because ultimately humans will become extinct like 99 percent of all other species has.

Exodus21: 22 “If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely[a] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
a Exodus 21:22 Or she has a miscarriage, New international version.
Also this: Numbers 5:11-31
27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
Its probably best the read the whole text not just what I quoted. -

I’m not saying that their `kill almost everyone` doctrine is true because I don’t think it is, however the bible doesn’t condemn abortion interestingly. There are at least two verses that give the direct opposite impression.

This is because Einstein was classical is his view of physics and why he hated the idea that quantum mechanics had non deterministic elements. This is why he said `God doesn’t play dice`, however the Copenhagen interpretation being the most common interpretation of quantum phenomena among scientists today, suggests something else. It is interesting because non deterministic elements are exactly what you need in a universe however, if one is to have the possibility of choice and choice needs some kind of consciousness and consciousness is what many believe is the key ingredient of a soul.
