Evolutionists teach that there is no perception after death. So it only smarts while you die, but as soon as you are dead, it is quite alright. No perception. As Hamlet said: ‘The rest is silence.’ According to what you believe those people who are already dead feel no pain whatsoever. You should not worry about them. They are fine. They are so fine they do not even exist. Can you imagine yourself not existing? I cannot. Yet this is what your evolution theory teaches. It also teaches that those who are already dead were no more than a bunch of molecules arranged to make a living being we happen to call man. Why feel sorry for a bunch of molecules.

You're right, I can't imagine not existing. By that logic, I must have existed forever.
Though I figure death feels about the same as before I was born.
"The rest is silence" belongs to Macbeth, not Hamlet and doesn't mean that. By the way, evolutionist don't care a bit what happens after death. They're just interested in what happens in this very earthly moment. And anyway, that there is no life after death, doesn't mean, necessarily, that you can't love a person, dead or alive. Many religions did have a vision of afterlife, but not a very bening one(see Greek Mythology). Does it mean that they didn't care about their people?, the tombs found in Greece and the panegirics they wrote mean yes, they did, even though.
Evolutionists teach that there is no perception after death.
Evolutionists are completely and utterly unconcerned with what happens to the conciousness after death, as such, they would not teach on the subject either way.
Way to build that strawman, though. Haven't heard that one yet.

Istvan, dead is ... well, it's dead, buddy. You're going to be every bit as dead as any chipmunk that cashed it in. As far as non-existence is concerned, your life has no cosmic significance. Nature is totally unimpressed by your existence. And for that matter, so am I.
I can imagine it, yes. In fact, I went through something which mimiced it for me. One moment I was on the operating table and being told that I was going to be put under whil watching the guy walk to the other side of the room where his equipment was, then there was nothingness. I have no memory of being put under or him even walking back towards me. But anyway I was fearful of it for a long time because that is what I imagined death to be. I got over it.
Actually, I can imagine myself not existing. Could when I was 5 even. It's pretty scary. I don't recall evolution touching on whether there's an afterlife or not though. Of course, an afterlife would have to involve supernatural forces, so unless you can scientifically prove that there is an afterlife, it will remain in the realm of religion, not science. Don't confuse the two.
Can you imagine yourself not existing? I cannot.
So, you can imagine yourself existing after death? Okay, but maybe that's just, um, imagination?
See, here you got your argument from incredulity and your argument from adverse consequences with a little of your emotional appeal. Not to mention death ain't got much to do with evolutionary theory except as a selection mechanism.
So we gotta get in there with a clean belt and a couple of those isolinear chips, replace a couple of pistons and a positronic node or two. Then we give it a fresh lube, and after that you have to break it in with an encyclopedia or two. After that it should work just fine, but don't let it near a Bible until you've got the critical thinking circuit engaged, or it'll get all tangled up and it'll take forever to clean up.
"Evolutionists teach that there is no perception after death."
Not even all atheists believe that.
"Can you imagine yourself not existing? I cannot."
As was pointed out elsewhere, where does this guy think he was in the years before he was born then?
1.That's not evolutionary biology, that is materialism.
2.Even if you were right in your claims, you're still commiting a fallacy.
"Can you imagine yourself not existing?"
"It also teaches that those who are already dead were no more than a bunch of molecules"
the theory of evolution has nothing to say about whether or not an afterlife exists.
and it's easy to imagine not existing, just think about before you were born.
Annabella, I guess it takes that same leap of fundie logic that connects, say, bananas to dinosaur saddles.
Christianity teach that there is eternal perception of unimaginable pain after death for anyone who doesn't think exactly like Christians do. So it only smarts while you die, but as soon as you are dead, it is quite worse, forever. According to what you believe those people who are already dead feel eternal pain. Can you imagine yourself burning forever? I cannot. Yet this is what your Christianity teaches. It also teaches that those who are already dead were no more than dirt arranged to make a living being we happen to call man doomed to damnation forever without Jesus. Why feel sorry for a bunch of sinners.
Confused?
