A student that I had last year, who I genuinely like, came by randomly Friday and asked me, "What do evolutionists think happens after we die?"
After I corrected his notion that all believers in sound biology are necessarily non-believers in an afterlife, I used the frequent parallel between "before you were born" and "after you die" to try to explain what it means to lose consciousness.
By coincidence, Sunday, I read this article in SciAm: "Never Say Die - Why We Can't Imagine Death".
Today, I saw this and giggled.
