What is life ? What is Death? What is life after death going to be? These are perplexing question that have been raised by so many people since the creation of mankind.
Life can be explained by religious people, philosophers, scholars, educators or by scientist including biologist, anthropologist or other professional groups of people.Each group may look at life, death and the life after from their own corners and specialties.
Life is the combination of soul and flesh. The characteristics of life are exemplified by movement, respiration, sensation, hearing, speaking, thinking, seeing, eating, drinking, urination, defecation, perspiration, reproduction, etc. Some may lose one or more of these essentials of life and still may function as a living creature. The Most important characteristic of life for a human being is in intellect, his brain, his thinking capacity, and his being able to think, manage and make sound decisions.
All these factors are to cease as soon as life ceases. Therefore, what makes life stop and end is the departure of soul that what introduced to the flesh after fertilization took place and after the zygote had been formed.
What is the composition of the soul? Where did the soul come from? Where does it go after the person dies?
These are so perplexing questions that may not have one full and complete satisfactory answer.
