The Nine Point Five Theses

By Jeffrey A Corkern

Do you want to know what's going to happen to you when you die? I can show you the logically deduced answer.

 

Do you want to know if you really, truly do have a soul? Do you want to know what you will experience in the afterlife? Do you want to know where your soul goes after the afterlife? Analytical chemist Jeff Corkern has thirty years' experience studying cause and effect. Now he shows how the scientific method and basic principles of logic prove beyond any doubt that the human soul is real.

 

THE NINE POINT FIVE THESES: THE EXISTENCE OF SOULS DEDUCED BY THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD conclusively demonstrates human beings—in fact, all the Universe's sentients—are eternal beings with eternal souls and always have been. This demonstration is done in strict accordance with the scientific method, using cold, objective logic and reason, and without any demand for faith or citing one religious text, using plain, everyday language. When you have finished this book, you will know what is going to happen to you when you die. And that death is nothing to be feared (for good people) and never has been.

In THE NINE POINT FIVE THESES: THE EXISTENCE OF SOULS DEDUCED BY THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD you'll discover:

• That you and all the other sentients in the Universe must be eternal beings with eternal souls, for a profoundly practical, logical reason: It keeps you from blowing the Universe the Hell up.
• That scientific detection of souls and reincarnation will lead to the absolute, utter, permanent, irrevocable destruction of all evil on Earth.
• That you and all the other sentients in the Universe reincarnate.
• One possible way of building a soul detector, an electronic gadget that can detect souls.
• That your life and everyone else's has meaning, meaning like you wouldn't believe, all the meaning you could ever want.
• That certain types of animals have souls too, and the profound reason this is so.
• That you have been acting, all your life, like you have a soul—whether you believe you do or not.
• That the meaning of life—something that has been argued about since humans first appeared on Earth—is to get smarter.
• That you and all the other sentients in the Universe have totally free will.
• That the Universe's purpose is to evolve intelligent sentients.
• That there is a negative relationship between emotion drugs and intelligence.

This book will prove to you, in clear, everyday language and with simple logic all of these things, as well as what will happen to you when you die. And afterwards

On the Sentient Constraints of a Sentient-Containing Universe

There is one thing scientists have never, ever thought about, not for a nanosecond.

The supreme threat that sentients pose to a Universe.

For rigor, I must pause and define exactly what I mean by sentient.

A sentient is a thinking, feeling being — with total free will — and the ability to understand the Universe’s fundamental laws: how the Universe works, and the ability to re-arrange the Universe using those fundamental laws as his free will sees fit.

One particular implication of that definition is of serious concern.

If a sentient has free will, and if a sentient can understand and re-arrange the Universe as he sees fit — ultimately, he has the power to destroy the entire Universe.

He can re-arrange the Universe all the way back down to quarks and gluons if he wants.

It gets worse, I’m afraid. You might think that no sentient would ever do such a thing. That there’s no possible reason whatsoever that would a make a sentient want to destroy the entire Universe, so the Universe is safe even if it’s possible for him to destroy it.

That is not true. There is one completely logical reason for a sentient to destroy the entire Universe: when the destruction of the entire Universe is the moral thing to do.

Which would be true if sentients did not have souls.

Suppose we build a soul-detector, find nothing, and assume a human being’s existence ends when his body does.

What does that mean, logically?

The coldly logical conclusion is that all human action is meaningless. Nothing we do, nothing we think, nothing we feel, has any physically significant meaning. Why?

Because good person, bad person, it doesn’t matter.

A good person lives his life and dies — and he just dissipates and is gone.

A bad person lives his life and dies — and he just dissipates and is gone.

Good or bad would all wind up in exactly the same place in the end. Therefore, for them personally, all their actions would have been, ultimately, totally without any physically real meaning.

None of your actions have any meaning. That is surely the purest, most cruel Hell there is.

And such a Hell can’t be just for us. It has to be Hell for every single sentient everywhere in the Universe. For every single sentient there has been, is, or will ever be in the Universe.

That’s worth emphasizing.

First: At this moment on Earth, for every person on Earth, life is composed mostly of pain. (I must note this will change after someone builds a soul-detector and scientifically confirms the existence of souls. But at this moment, lives of mostly pain have been true for all of human history.)

A list of possible pains and disappointments is very, very long. The pain of desperate, constant, grinding failure, of not being the best, of always being second-, third-, or fourth-best, of not being able to make enough money, of always living on the edge financially no matter how hard you work, of living from paycheck-to-paycheck, of not getting into the college of your choice, of not being able even to go to college when you know you have the smarts, of not reaching your dream no how hard you try, of having some chronic sickness when everybody around you is in perfect health, and this is just the beginning.

I’m sure you have a long list of your own personal pains you could add to this. And the worst pain of them all is the idea none of your constant suffering and struggle has any real meaning.

(The philosophers, I observe, understood that life was mostly pain long ago. The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, said the poet-philosopher Thoreau. There are many others, too, who echo that observation.)

This hard fact has to be true not only for human beings, but for all sentients in the Universe.

If sentients’ lives are composed mostly of pain, if their existence is limited, if they don’t have souls, then both their lives and their pain are completely without meaning. Not one single action has any real, physical meaning. No life has any real, physical meaning. Sentients’ feelings, their pain, mean nothing, if those sentients all wind up in exactly the same place no matter what they do or feel — good people or bad people — totally without meaning.

If they don’t have souls, then all over the Universe, trillions and trillions of sentients right now are living completely meaningless lives composed mostly of pain. And that state will continue to happen for trillions and trillions of years.

That makes the Universe Hell for every single sentient in it. If there are no souls, the Universe —logically — is Hell.

If there are no souls, what, at its most fundamental, are all the Universe’s sentients going to do?

Live in Hell, and then die.

Destroying Hell is the moral thing to do. If we live without eternal existence, without souls, the destruction of the Universe becomes the moral thing to do.

We now have a motivation for destroying the Universe.

And even if you personally don’t agree with that idea, do you really think every single sentient in the Universe is going to have the same judgment you do?

But the concept still becomes even worse. Remember that I said a sentient could re-arrange the Universe back down to its component quarks and gluons if he wanted? There’s a reason I said that. A scientist recently found a way to do exactly that.

Stephen Hawking.

In 2014, Stephen Hawking made headlines with a way one sentient could destroy the entire Universe with no effort at all: simply by pushing a button once.

Hawking himself perfectly embodied and illustrated this basic problem. If anybody understood the Universe’s fundamental laws, it was Stephen Hawking. If anybody went through Hell at the hands of the Universe, it was Stephen Hawking.

And Hawking found a way to destroy the whole damned Universe.

With a twitch of his little finger.

He pointed out that the Higgs field, fundamental to the workings of the Universe, exists in an excited state, and that the existence of all the Universe’s particles depend on the Higgs field remaining in that excited state. (The Higgs field is a quantum field that pervades the entire Universe and is responsible for gravity. Wikipedia reference: Higgs field (classical) So, because the Higgs field exists in an excited state, the Universe contains a fundamental instability, which can be used to destroy it.

If the Higgs field ever drops to its ground state in any particular area, all the Universe’s particles in that area will promptly disintegrate. And from that area, the drop in energy (and therefore disintegration) will spread, exactly like dropping a spark into gunpowder. And the entire Universe dissolves into the Chaos it came from.

(Don’t believe this? Here is one source: Stephen Hawking Says 'God Particle' Could Wipe Out Universe. Google it for yourself. Or, find your favorite physicist and ask him.)

So, all we have to do is to build a Universe-killing doomsday machine — a Hawking Machine — that will catalyze a drop of the Higgs field to its ground state. We will only have to use it once. We punch the button and poof, no more Universe. At the speed of light.

So, we exist in a Universe wherein a) there is a very strong motivation for destroying that Universe ( to prevent the meaningless suffering of trillions of innocents), and b) it is possible for one single sentient to destroy the entire Universe, and c) there are trillions and trillions and trillions of possible-Universe-destroying sentients in the
