Death before life?

[matt1215 0]

So if we weren't alive before we were alive, does that mean we were dead before we were alive?

[ChrisL 2]

Nope.

Dead is something that used to be alive but is no longer.

Before we are born we simply dont exist.

Of course "non-existance" is debatable depending
on your religeous beliefs

All depends on your religious beliefs.

Some religions believe in reincarnation. How does that figure into your timeline?

Seems logical that we simply don't exist before we're born. To me it seems equally logical that we don't exist after we die.

I don't believe in reincarnation. I did in a former life but not in this one.

You can read alot of philosophy books or simply sit down and think but it is generaly accepted that before you can come to a conclusion on any of the proposed questions you must first define the meaning of "existence".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existence

However, I fear you will be hard pressed to define existence in a written or verbal language because existence is a state of being (objective) and languages are descriptions of being (subjective).
