Don't forget blackholes sucking up energy and matter and spitting it out into the next universe creating another big bang

Cycle theory remains undefeated

For me its peppermint tea

No, because the odds of the same exact circumstances happening to bring your exact atomic configuration into being are so close to zero that writing the number out would take you an infinite lifetimes. I'm sorry, but there's nothing waiting for you on the other side.

>>16831332
And yet we exist despite those very odds

Maybe just admit that statistics and probability are just rationalizing what we don't know

>>16831335
your current existence bears no statistical relation to the same exact events happening again, the current state of affairs is because the things that had to happen to reach this point have already happened, but the odds of the exact same circumstances occuring again are not even close to being favourable, it's a one and done deal, maybe we'll get lucky and merge into some hyperconsciousness a bajillion years into the future, but even then the notion of "you" would cease to exist, there would only be one "I", a new being with not a single memory of this godforsaken existence.

no + energy isnt matter + youre stupid + reincarnation is some idea they give thirdies so they can throw away billions of lives

Let's say you get put into an artificial coma. Your memories get deleted with sci-fi technology. People wait until your body has replaced every atom (I don't know if every atom in the human body actually gets replaced over time but let's assume we have the technology to replace even the atoms that don't get replaced naturally atom by atom).
You come out of the coma.
Does the new consciousness still belong to "you"? There's nothing linking the old you to the new you after all. How is that different from dying but then somehow continuing to be conscious as another conscious being?
That would be pretty terrifying actually. It would be like buddhism but you can never escape samsara as long as there are conscious beings.

That sounds like a fantastic punishment for irredeemable criminals. Instead of being put to death, just wipe away the person inside their body and condition the new one into being a slave for the community.

>>16831509
At that point the person you wanted to punish is gone though

>>16830662
Yes. Sure. Whatever.

But you still suffer memory death. Your consciousness may arise again, but it’s not YOU anon. You could be a frog.

>then yes we would be reliving this same life over and over for eternity
I don’t think it would be exactly the same… given choice…
