I won't know anything about that, then. Cause I will be dead and gone. But, what an adventure, huh!

Sleep may be a good way out for some.
Just a choice to make.

Yes, what an adventure, it has been a bumpy road for many. Matter can be converted to energy, and visa versa. All that accrued knowledge, thoughts and love must be stored somewhere, somehow. Our knowledge is not complete nor is it absolute. Where we go and what we do is still a mystery.

Spock has just left us, gone to a galaxy far, far away. May the Force Be With you.

Must it?
Akashic records? Holographic permutations? Race memories? The theme is common; reflecting the human desire for some kind of immortality. Still, wishing doesn't make it so.

Silly twit... Your chemical equation involves a reorganization of the atoms. Bonds are broken between atoms in the reactants, and new bonds are formed in the products. The number and types of atoms between reactants and products do not change. Because atoms are conserved in a chemical reaction, mass is also conserved.

Think it through.

Wh**ever the mind can imagine might very well be possible. But I think you are right and most likely a very practical, and pragmatic person. Wishing it doesn't make it so.

That is true but does not automatically imply a dry lifeless pragmatism. Though we are dust, returning to dust, aint it cool that WE are some of the dust that gets to walk around, figure stuff out and find and hug each other? There is no need for wishing for wonder; we are immersed in it! I forget who said it, "we are the means by which the universe strives to observe and know itself."

There are millions of things to smile at and a few to love!

I believe consciousness is a function of all my physical parts working together synergistically, until death when it stops working. Then "I" will be gone.

Same thing for every silly twit! We will die and return to dust, the dust motes will disengage from one another, untill the elements composing it are free to roam alone once again, shuffle through the dust of the earth, percolate into the air, and given enough time, some may again escape Earths gravity and roam the Cosmos again. Poetic!?!

According to Genesis, and science, that is exactly what happened! The difference is in the details. . .

Maybe. But there is one little detail that's very important. If there is a God, you have a soul, and you are a sinner. Guess what that means?

Means you have a good imagination. Good enough to convince yourself that your indoctrination and confirmation bias equals a conscious creative entity, named God.

Wishing it may not make it so but it's a starting place. " Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours."

You poor fool. God is real. The evidence is there. I was never indoctrinated. I looked at the evidence and came to a conclusion. Your attempt to make me look like a brainwashed i***t is laughable. And I have to wonder why you spend so much time and effort trying to convince people that God is a myth, if you don't believe in Him. It's not rational.
