Effectively you're denying a biological and medical fact that people can be rendered unconscious.

Err, no, everybody knows that. There you are talking about consciousness through the physical brain. Why are you not getting that point?

Do you have a point?

So...  Life is an infinitely unlikely fluke of Nature, which developed for absolutely no reason, in a completely accidentally occurring, and entirely physical and dead Universe ,which is coming out of an incredibly small and dense . .thing, in absolute nothingness.       .    .         .

And I'm okay with that.

Not everything needs an explanation. Especially when that "answer" answers nothing. Just more filler.

Here is some evidence as to why:  Afterlife Evidence

I've been dead. There is no afterlife.

I can tell that by your robotic posts.

     I guess I'm just curious.

Curiosity is good. But settling for half 'answers' is doing a disservice to yourself. For myself, I am curious, yet I don't need to know everything. We exist, I'm good with that. I don't need a scientific formula for it, nor do I need a 'god did it' answer.

I think it still comes down to subatomic particles. 

Matter is made up of Atoms.  Atoms are made up of sub-atomic particles. When an atom is split and fission occurs...i.e. The release of Energy transformed into heat, what part of any of the atom involved  is left...sub-Atomic or otherwise? Did we not destroy in the process of fission the very essence of matter?

I am certainly not an atomic scientist...and I am very pleased to have my knowledge of what I 'think' I know updated and refreshened.

Maybe @danydandan can shed some light on this.

@sci-nerd can too but I think energy is still particles. I know light is.

My understanding is that light consists of photons.   I don't really know what energy is.  But I think I get some from drinking coffee...of course...that my just be the addictive quality of caffeine....

Reality is what I know and I know nothing. 

 

You know you are alive. You know you are part of a family and live within a society and you know you have a past and are in a position to plan for a future while alive now.

'm the oldest of five and when we get together, talking about the past no two of us remember an event the same way. 

But you all recall the "event". The fact that  details may differ is normal as XenoFish has already mentioned:

Memory is malleable. Every time we recall something we edit that memory a bit. We can even create false memories of events and things that never happened. 

An event can be recalled differently depending on age. There are 5, I assume you are not  quintuplets? 

We can look at christmas as an example, all five can recall the xmas day, (the event) but all could have different memories. One could believe father christmas brought the presents, one could recall the day as awful as they did not get the gift they wanted and one could recall it as the best day as they did get their gift. The examples are numerous, and it does show that you could all recall the "event", but in very different ways.

No, I'm talking about consciousness.  Your point is entirely baseless.  If they aren't unconscious, what are they experiencing?

Yep, I can relate to that. All I need to know is which coffee it is and it does not need  to have been touched  by some guy called Simon claiming to be a master floating about some astral plane in a 6th dimentional state of unconciousness experiencing  a higher awareness bliss within  a bit of less dense matter.

Either that....or it was created by something that is an infinitely unlikely fluke of Nature, which developed for absolutely no reason, in a completely accidentally occurring, and entirely physical and dead Universe ,which is coming out of an incredibly small and dense . .thing, in absolute nothingness.   

Either way...if it all somehow spontaneously happened or if it was created by something that spontaneously happened....you are correct.

I have my doubts that  I  am correct.  

      As for light....  Isn't it believed to manifest as photons/particles  OR  waves?   ...just askin, I thought I have read that.

But do I? Who's to say there isn't some entity 'our there' pushing buttons? 

I should have taken the red pill.

Are we truly responsible for everything that happens on this Earth?

No, nature takes care of the bulk of it. 

We are responsible for our actions as humans, but nature does not question us, not does it give a damn.

Do you know if you are alive? I do hope this is not something you are questioning?

Our life on this Earth is not long, personally I would never question if I am alive.

What kind of buttons do you think may be being pushed? Can you give an example of how and the effect it has or has had on mankind?  

[RoseDancer]

Nope.

Maybe here is why we are failing to communicate. Who are the 'they' in your post? I think you are talking about what I call physical forms experiencing consciousness through the physical brain.  

Our discussion will probably end with the disagreement on the question; is consciousness a creation of the physical brain or is it something fundamental that can incarnate physical and super-physical bodies. My analysis of the paranormal and psychic evidence has left me supporting the latter option.

Basically correct, but slightly more complex.

Atom's are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons...which in turn are comprised of quark's which in turn may be made from something else. 

Effectively what happens with Atomic bombs is a neutron hits the nucleus of the element used for the bomb. Say Uranium235  for example..... Once the initial strike occurs the atom is split and creates a massive amount of energy, radiation, light, heat etcetera. But a chain reaction occurs as the splitting creates more neutrons and more nuclei these strike each other and kaaaasboom. Nuclear explosion. So what's physically left of all that Uranium 235 after all this fission, well we have used most of it is energy but some of it creates 236... As far I can remember this is usually very rare and is a result of a neutron capture taking place. But most of the element is destroyed

You'll have to excuse me while I clean my brain off the wall, my mind is blown.

Since your 'analysis' is based on...can be nothing but based on...anecdote....and since we know that people lie...and since we also know that even if people are telling the truth, memory is not really accurate to the degree it would need to be...

...have you ever thought maybe your analysis is in err?

Can people be rendered unconscious?  It's either yes or no.

The discussion has already shown contradictions in your claims.  The unconscious isn't really unconscious, the super-physical isn't really physical.  You still haven't answered what the molecule frequency of the "super-physical".
