No, I wasn't dead.
If one dies in between, that's it.

In other words... its 7:00AM, what can I make of today?

Every atom in our bodies existed way before we were born.We are actually made of stardust.Poetic science FTW! | Sure, materially speaking, we existed before "ourselves" as individuals but I think that is exactly what "prior existence" refers to; the existence of our identity as entities in the universe. To simplify, if you were to build a Lego fort, the pieces to build it existed long before the fort itself but that doesn't mean the fort existed. Once built, it becomes it's own body, independent of all other material. We are the Lego fort  .

There is no female hormone to trigger a female infant, but after 6 weeks testosterone is released to form a male infant.
That's why men have hairy man nipples.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
