He believes his Theory (theories can be proven right or wrong, and are not laws) because there is no hard evidence to the contrary. And by hard evidence I mean something that we all agree on. We're divided on the definition of death, you just recently said it's when the soul leaves the body, but before that you said it is when the normal functions of the body cease and are taken over by magics.
As I showed above, you are refining your definitions as we refine ours. Although I don't agree with some of zeph's theories, I will defend to the death his right to present them :)
Before I restate my definition of death, remember that all mythologies have some kind of afterlife. Why wouldn't Myth have one?
As I see it, death in the Myth world is the ceasing of life functions in the body, and the soul goes to the afterlife, where it remains. It isn't death in my eyes if the soul doesn't enter its next stage. Now, don't give me crap about how myth doesn't have an afterlife... it takes many aspects from our past, and every single one of them is tied to a faith that has a belief on the afterlife.
And, the Myth afterlife hasn't been proven to be the ether. So if the ether isn't the afterlife, then her spirit didn't enter the afterlife! See my thinking: if her spirit entered the ether, but wasn't the afterlife, then she didn't meet the requirement for death i mentioned earlier and this didn't die, in my perspective.
Can you see where I am coming from now?
