Ed1 i know your a committed atheist but what do you think happens after death? do you believe in a soul?

Also what is your view on Ascension? Whereby instead of a physical entity people are just beings of pure enrgy, just consciousness or something of that ilk?

Its a fairly standard concept in sci fi shows, i've seen it in Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5 and Stargate.

There is the idea that these sort of shows exist to help us get used to the idea of aliens, space travel, time travel, super advanced technology and all that jazz, but has anyone else ever noticed any of the sociological or religious themes that tend to crop up in these shows a lot? Is it to also maybe prepare us for the possibilty of potential future evolution?

A lot of sci fi writers tend to be agnostic or atheist and i think its just a bit much to keep cropping up all the time in shows.

Hope that makes sense? {Ed001's Note - I do believe there is something else, after all, it has been found that bodies immediately lose weight after death, for no apparent reason. I am not sure what happens, I have read hundreds of theories, but I am undecided as to my thinking regarding it. I don't believe that sci fi writers are doing any more than the usual human wish of there being something more to life. They are just trying to provide meaning to life, beyond the animal need to procreate and survive. I am not convinced they are doing any more other than revealing that basic desire to feel like there is more to our lives than that.}
