Dear Atheists..

We’ve been passed on through generations of homosapiens, earlier mammals, back to sea life and single cells back to when biology began through our genes, as well as the elements within in us having been forged in Earth, supernovas or collisions of earlier stars right back to the furthest back we can see of the universe where chemistry began and when physics began.

Just like our genes will be passed on to our offspring and theirs and theirs (that’s how we live on after our death) and, even after all human life has long ended, the elements and aroms that were within us will make up the elements and atoms of something else (again, how we live on after our death), whether that be soil or part of a future species of tree.

Again, thanks for the answer but, I like GortonBlue62's answer better.

We are quite literally make of the stars.

Ta for all that.

I think their are 2 important points in all that.
1. Homer, Sun tzu, Pythagoras et al, left behind stuff that advanced knowledge, whether it was them, partly them, or someone entirely different and they co-opted them and consigned them to being completely unknown… it doesn’t matter, as none claimed divinity about it.
2. I always wondered about the oft quoted trope about a man called ‘Jesus’, and you e just laid it bear, that any fragments could be about hundreds if not thousands of different people. I think I asked earlier today, where’s the info about ‘Jesus’ between being born, then nothing till working as a carpenter, then nothing till kicking up a fuss.

His childhood was in the Bible at one point but it was taken out because some of it was thought to be too fantastical to be believed in order to convert people and other bits taken out because it showed a child Jesus who was a child murderer.

In some lost gospels it said that Jesus, Mary and Joseph had to take shelter in a cave on the way to Egypt and the young Jesus found an army of dragons in the cave which all bowed down to him. Another said that Jesus flew through the sky while fighting a winged snake. Another said he cast a spell on another child that caused him to wither into an old man and die because he splashed a bit of water at Jesus and another who he cast a spell on and killed because he bumped into Jesus when walking past him.

… it’s as though it’s just a big made up book.

You have around 4 grams of iron in you, forged when stars end their life just before they supernova. And you have around 0.2 miligrams of gold in you, forged when stars collide.

Fucking Harry Potter's more realistic.

That's not really 'living' though, is it?

Imsuppose it’s not living at all, apart from the bit in the middle where we’re actually alive.

Going through all these pages I see a lot of things said about where we go when we die but, no one says where we have been before we were born.

You were in Stalybridge but got downgraded to Dukinfield.
