  1. He may be ‘dead’…. but does that mean he is now ‘Unconscious’ / non-conscious?
    Was his conscious being merely a complex chemical reaction… an attunement?
    I dont Believe so.
    To my mind…. that is a preposterous notion.
    There simply must be something more to the Human being than mere Atoms… and my free will evidences this.
    The Sins, and virtues of Humanity evidence this…. nothing can be no distinction between Good actions and evil actions if they both are simply materialistically determined.
    There can be no Reason if all our thoughts are merely the firing of Genes.
    Materialism is the End of Humanity…. It reduces us to Nothing more than the robotic refuse of the Big bang.

      Yes.

      Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord for ever. (NIV)
