John R. Skoyles . According to C. Daniel Batson, Patricia Schoenrape and W. Larry Ventris, three American psychologists, religion is 'whatever we do as individuals to come to grips personally with the questions that confront us because we are aware that we and others like us are alive and that we will die'.
Science however does say things about life before death, and here some facts exist of interest.
This makes us think about staying alive and mortality, and so the above question. That can involve, I suggest, understanding how our concerns to stay alive are made vulnerable by spurious fears to the fact 'we are aware that we and others like us are alive and that we will die'. First, let us discuss this concern of life with staying alive. It is created by the brain. After all, evolution has built brains to survive, not seek the first opportunity to end themselves.
