Where Do Human Beings Go After Death

By Joshua N. Walker

Many a man today are confused or don’t believe in life after death. This book is not focused on reincarnation or some specific belief but, rather, about discovering some facts in science that support the facts in the Holy Bible.

Conclusion

Introduction

Every human being living on Earth has a place to go after death. Many have different beliefs or opinions about life after death and are not sure what will happen to their souls and spirits after their bodies expire. This subject is quite debatable, and this book will be dealing with this topic as much as the holy scriptures inscribe.

The debate will also touch on how we are related to Neanderthals, close hominid relatives who coexisted with our species from more than one hundred thousand years ago to about twenty-eight thousand years ago. As they did so, according to a hypothesis, humans merged with and interbred with Neanderthals, meaning that there is little Neanderthal in all modern European data. However, this suggests that the movement of anatomically modern humans out of Africa happened on a larger scale.

Points of other interest are also mentioned, such as opinions and arguments about how human beings exist and proof of how they came to be, where they will end up when they die, their nature; and after death, whether they reincarnate, and if so, how it happens. The book further looks at the law that states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. It also investigates the theory of reincarnation, which states that a soul is made up of energy and is transferred from body to body.

It deals with significant amounts of evidence that suggest that reincarnation is real. Physicist Sir Roger Penrose introduced the concept of nonlocal consciousness and provided the first hints that our minds could be immaterial.

This book deals with a Creator and his origin and attributes, investigating schools of thought and their beliefs and then investigates the Holy Bible’s viewpoint, which emphasizes the nature of a Creator who is more complex than anyone could ever hope to explore. He transcends all time, all space, all knowledge and every other dimension one can think of. He is a Creator who is consistent with Himself, and all His attributes work together in harmony with one another in everything He does, His attributes being unchangeable.

The book also deals with how people look at death and how they fear death, and what will happen to mankind at the end of his life during the second coming of Jesus.

Human beings can also have a way to escape from the terrible events that will befall mankind in the second coming of Jesus Christ.

CHAPTER

1

The Origin of Man

Before I dive deep into where human beings go after they die, I want to take a moment to talk about how and where human beings came into existence, the origin of mankind which we all call evolution.

The first argument about this topic is that God did not create human beings; rather, man developed from an ape as the study of anthropology defines it.

The study of the subject further states that human evolution is the evolutionary process that led to the emergence of anatomically modern humans, beginning with the evolutionary history of primates, in particular, the genus Homo and leading to the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family, the great apes. This process involved the gradual development of traits, such as human bipedalism and language, and interbreeding with other hominines, which indicate that human evolution was not linear but a web. It further states that the history of the primates can be traced back sixty-five million years.

There is great debate about how we are related to Neanderthals, close hominid relatives who coexisted with our species from more than one hundred thousand years ago to about twenty-eight thousand years ago. Some data suggest that anatomically modern humans dispersed into areas beyond Africa in small bands across many regions. During the dispersion, according to this hypothesis, humans merged with and interbred with Neanderthals. This means that there is a little Neanderthal in all modern Europeans.

Scientists name five stages of human evolution. Dryopithecus is considered to be the ancestors of man and apes.

Ramapithecus, an extinct anthropoid ape in the Miocene, was discovered from remains found in southwestern Asia and East Africa and could be an ancestor of the orangutan.

Australopithecus—is a genus of early hominins that existed in Africa during the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene. The genera Homo, Paranthropus and Kenyanthropus, evolved from Australopithecus.

Homo Erectus is an extinct species of archaic human from the Pleistocene, with its earliest occurrence about two million years ago and its specimens are among the first recognizable members of the genus

Homo.

Homo sapiens neanderthalensis

Neanderthalensis. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (also spelled Neanderthal) is a member of a group of archaic humans who emerged at least two hundred thousand years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch (between 2.6 million and 11,700 years ago) and was replaced or assimilated by early modern human populations (Homo sapiens) between 35,000 and perhaps 24,000 years ago. Neanderthals inhabited Eurasia from the Atlantic regions of Europe eastward to Central Asia, from as far north as present-day Belgium and as far south as the Mediterranean and southwest Asia. Similar archaic human populations lived at the same time in eastern Asia and Africa. Because Neanderthals lived in a land of abundant limestone caves, which preserved bones well and where there has been a long history of prehistoric research, they are better known than any other archaic human group. Consequently, they have become the archetypal cavemen. The name Neanderthal (or Neandertal) derives from the Neander Valley

(German Neander Thal or Neander Tal) in Germany where the fossils were first found.

Until the late twentieth century, Neanderthals were regarded as genetically, morphologically and behaviorally distinct from living humans. However, more recent discoveries about these well-preserved fossils from the Eurasian population have revealed an overlap between living and archaic humans.

Neanderthals lived before and during the last ice age of the Pleistocene in some of the most unforgiving environments that humans ever inhabited. They developed a successful culture with a complex stone tool technology that was based on hunting with some scavenging and gathering plants. Their survival during tens of thousands of years of the last glaciation is a remarkable testament to human adaptation.

Scientific opinion based on other sets of data, however, suggests that the movement of anatomically modern humans out of Africa happened on a larger scale. These movements by the much more culturally and technologically advanced modern humans, the hypothesis states, would have been difficult for the Neanderthals to accommodate; the modern humans would have outcompeted the Neanderthals for resources and drove them to extinction.

It has also been debated that one of the oldest known primate-like mammal species, the Plesiadapis, came from North America; another,
