The topic is death. To claim that natural science can say anything substantial (at least what I would call substantial) about it, is the sweeping ignorant statement IMO.

Neuroscience can't say anything about only under the confines your closed mind has put upon it.

If a neuroscientist is of the belief that when we die then that is it; there is no spirit; the conscious mind is simply an elaborate representation of our environment (to give us survival advantages) via a complex organ known as the brain then I say neuroscience will one day explain it.

Your arguing technique by putting everything in the constraints of your spiritualistic mind is growing old. I'm sorry but this box you put around science which complies with your spirituality is a joke.

Attended the service for my friend.  It was at a Unitarian church.  Very different.  Looks like a living room.  Service lasted 30 minutes.  As much as I hate funerals, I have to say that is something I could at least tolerate. 

The first speaker pretty much tackled the suicide issue head on, without specifically mentioning it, which I think was the right thing to do.  No secrets on this island anyway.  The coconut wireless is too good.

Acknowledged that he was having financial problems, but said that he is the only one who can answer the "why" question.  He was speaking directly to his kids.  Said if anyone tries to tell them they know exactly why, they are probably lying or just clueless.  They should never question whether their father was a good man or whether he loved them.

The son of one of my friends was murdered.  I'll be going to another funeral.   I really hate this part of life.   :-\
