It is a simple pragmatic debate yet we complicate that we not be forced to make decisions regarding its elements. You agree energy can neither be created or destroyed it simply changes form. So the energy, electro magnetic or other force that inhabits a person known as a living departs when that person takes his last breath. Again agreed. The simplicity of our debate is not that there is an after life for the Spirit leaving the body either remains a dissipation of that organic spirit floating around endlessly, is absorbed by some attractive force that collects that Life Force, transforms to another type of energy to move into the collective reserve of energy making up the universe, is recycled into another living being to face the temporary aspects of life or goes to be with a superior being that I call God who takes that force, transforms it and turns it into an advanced version of you to live for immortality for His Good Purpose. So the question is not that but where our force will spend eternity.

May I inquire? It seems so complex a thing to take from the reservoir of energy a smidgen and incorporate it into an organic form that is preprogrammed with personality, talent, purpose and longevity. Forgive me for asking but it seems like a lot of trouble to go to if this is simple process of giving and taking a plasma cloud of force to be returned to a reservoir following some particular passage of time. Doesn’t that complexity in itself imply some truly creative thought and power beyond our simple comprehension of life in whatever form?

So since this is a simple argument of not will your spirit last beyond your existence then it ought be simple answer causing you to make a simple decision regarding your belief as to where you feel your Spirit goes when you expire? Simple Right? Then why do we fight over this, struggle over it, have fifty thousand different explanations of this process? I mean if it that simple shouldn’t that decision be simple as well? Then why is it again so complex to the point where many people do not make that decision until lying there waiting for their last breath? Again the argument is simple the answer complex, which when complexity is present implies intervention by a complex thinking.

I would propose that we want this to be a simple answer and science reduces it to something as simple as 1’s and 0’s yet we are forced to struggle with this because if the complex appearance of our existence does in fact indicate the intervention of a superior life form in our creation, then it is not a simple decision to be made lightly. I pray that you are forced to struggle with this complexity and in its difficulty you see God’s Masterful Hand such that you are forced to investigate Him and test the Grace He has offered to all.  In Jesus’ Name.
