    Post mortem photography-what was trending a long time ago.

    My apologies for missing those few threads. You live in the states; I think and you know we avoid talking about it. As a point of casual conversation I don't recall anyone starting a thread on it.

    What's really peculiar about Alex's climate denial reasoning is this. He has acknowledged human caused environmental degradation on a local scale.

    Post mortem photography-what was trending a long time ago.

    I think you overstated what this thread is about. Go back and read the first sentence of this thread. I wonder. Have you written out your will? Have you talked with your spouse or close friend, relative if you want to be resusitated? Do you have a life insurance policy if you think you need...

    Critiques of Science as Currently Praticed

    He's wrong though. QM theory gives a deeper understanding of physical reality. This theory came about because physicists of the 19th- early 20 centuries perfomed experiments, but the results could not be explained adequately by classical physics alone. QM may seem metaphysical, but it's not.

    Challenge to materialist atheist accepted

    I brought this up sometime last year I think. Folks here are so eager to prove life after death but don't stop for a moment it seems to ponder then what happens. How long will life after death continue? What will I do for 10 to the power of 10000 years or more? What will I do when the universe...

    If my memory serves, the oldest known religion was dated to 70000 years ago. I also read a short article of what appear to be stone monoliths in I think Southern Africa dated to 250000 years ago. I refreshed my memory about the stone monoliths. Age dates vary, but the age estimates are still...

    Morbid by todays sensibilities. You've inadvertently brought up a oft asked and contested question, it goes something like this: Is morality..., arbitrary? P.S. Speaking of morbid. When looking at these photos I wonder if purge was a problem and if it was how was it delt with?

    Post mortem photography-what was trending a long time ago.

    These are but a few photos. All you need do to see that they did portray the dead as close to life like as practical in these photos is look at more photos.

    My point was, we breed faster once we have food which allows us to settle down to many places to create civilizations. I got the impression rightly or wrongly civilization was created from whole cloth. That's all I have to say.
