An Afterlife is Impossible

Thank you for an interesting last response. ======================= The second law of thermodynamics. ======================= "The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that all things eventually fall into disrepair. This applies to livings things, (living organisms will eventually grow old and weak) and non-living organisms (a star will eventually burn out.) Because of this, a soul cannot live forever in perfect condition, and neither could the location of the afterlife. Also, since an afterlife would be 'life after death,' it is impossible for a soul to live forever, as all living things die." This is wrong on more than one account. 1. This law applies only to what we have already discovered, about living things here on earth, the law refers to PHYSICAL reality, and not supernatural reality. It assumes that the supernatural must follow these same laws, without it actually being proven. And 2. Even if the laws did apply to the afterlife, we never said it had to last forever. "But all provide an explanation without having to use 'the soul." They provide an alternative explanation, none of which are conclusive, nor disprove the existence of a soul. ============================ The argument of the brain and the 5 senses. ============================ Presupposition logical fallacy: Or "Assumption based on ignorance. Meaning, assuming something based on things that are not proven. What we must acknowledge here is that my opponent is presupposing that an afterlife is impossible, this is considered a trick question or "plurium interrogationum" which is a logical fallacy. He commits this fallacy by asking the questions: "then why is it that if you cripple someone's nose, they can't smell anymore?" "If a soul is incapable of any senses, then how can it really be you?" "All of the thought process takes place in the brain, so if brains aren't flying up into the sky after death, how are people experiencing afterlives?" And etc. No matter how much we prod the innards of the brain, we cannot find the source, or the "meat" of the brain. I.e where the thought it originated from. By assuming that our soul's in the afterlife need our brain, without this actually being proven, he is committing the presupposition fallacy. http://www.towardthelight.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... "There is also the issue of if you go somewhere after death, it would have to be a place. The problem with that is, how does the 'soul' know how to get there, how does it travel, and how does that place have enough room for the billions of 'souls' arriving in increasing numbers." This is irrelevant. This does not prove nor disprove the existence of a soul, but rather challenges some of the complications of such, assuming that the place is PHYSICAL, which again, is a logical fallacy. "How could the 'heaven' be perfect if you would be sharing it with murderers and rapists who have repented? Also, how can it be perfect if everyone has their own imperfections? And since everyone's perfect 'heaven' or 'hell' would be different, than there would need to be billions of different heavens and hells to suite each person." This is completely irrelevant. Heaven and/or the Christian afterlife is not part of the debate. "I have also embedded a video explaining more logical arguments against an afterlife." The video does not prove whether or not souls exist, it arises the human's vs animals debate. No matter what you believe about dogs or humans, it is irrelevant, if your looking at the fact that animals and humans are very much alike, then fine, we both have souls. It really makes no difference in this debate. Either way it is presupposing something that has not at all been disproved. ======= Conclusion ======= All in all, my opponent has not given any solid argument that proves an afterlife cannot exist. He has based his arguments on things that we do not know, let alone have not proven. He has not met his burden of sufficiently proving that an afterlife is impossible without assuming things that are not proven. Vote how you know is right.
