Do evolutionists believe in the afterlife?

[kryonlight]

Or do they believe that after death, that is the end of everything?

Or do they believe that after death, that is the end of everything?

今世你非来世他，如世因缘如世果
放下执着一念间，愿主早得大智慧

as promised to Forvendet for the English translation:
you wouldn't be the same person even in the future, be it in this life or the next.
seeds sown will always yield fruition when the conditions are right
attachments to the present or being nonchalant is merely a choice in thoughts
may the kind Sir gain profound wisdom in the poem above.

 

[Kinana]

Evolutionists can believe humans come from rocks and rocks came from nothing. Thats the essence of evolution.
Some like drifter even believe he is god. I know that silly but that what he is.

Evolutionists sure can believe in anything one.

How you know? Have you been there and back?

Why do people who believes in evolution still believes in religion?

 

[zhihau]

How you know? Have you been there and back?

oh, by simple means of ingestion and digestion as well as excretion, the composite of me yesterday isn't the same as the composite of me today. as of the next life, haven't been through it and to come back to reveal it, the essence of my message was explained in the opening sentence of this reply. and as you were saying?

try planting some seeds and watch them grow, it's better than watching water evaporating me assure you
how do evolutionist still believes in religion? scientists are very open to any ideas that can best describe our physical world, that's why

While I agree with your first two lines of the poem, I am not sure about your third line. It seems that you are implying that "you don't know" or "you can't be sure" if there is an afterlife or not.

There's no empirical proof that consciousness is possible without the material brain. The "afterlife" feels the same as the "beforelife".

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” - Mark Twain

I would like to add that the material brain is also not possible without consciousness. Both of them depend on each other for their existence.

As for you and Mark Twain's belief, it's as old as Early Buddhism.

More like talking about not clinging to permanence for something that is transient.

Maybe. I wonder by "执着" he means "执着" in what?

And the sooner you do this, the earlier you attain nirvana. I don't know whether my china can do or not?

bro,
are you well versed in the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra?

 

[kryonlight]

Friend, the Heart Sutra is not Theravada literature.

佛法有分你我他?

 

[zhihau]

I don't know whether my china can do or not?

don't know why but flavors often lost during translations :o:o:o

 

[vamjok]

actually i did look through and study the content in the heart sutra, it is a very brief summary of the suttana pikaya. only when one that goes through finish the middle length and long discourses, one will be able to understand what the heart sutra author is trying to summarised.

 

[vamjok]

Friend, the Heart Sutra is not Theravada literature.

LOL reminds me of my younger days when i disturb the mahayanists

"sorry those text you used are not recognised as canonical"

 

[kryonlight]

佛法有分你我他?

This is difficult to reply. For me, I don't believe in the Bodhisatta Path. I find it totally ridiculous. You won't find any mention of the Bodhisatta Path in the original Theravada Pali suttas.

 

[zhihau]

"sorry those text you used are not recognised as canonical"

heheh...
can see that you're free now

 

[Kinana]

So you atheists are actually Buddhist?
