Yes you do. Just ask any scientist.

you can't do that though.

my answers were not providing assumptions.

they are providing real world answers.

yours is 100% assumption.

i am asking to ANSWER it PERSONALLY.
you cannot use that as an answer as it is not a personal answer.
if there was no life, you would not remember, as you would not exist. therefore your answer would have to be i don't remember or i don't know.
This question can't be answered personally. You're working under the assumption that it is possible to remember and cognitively function before conception. That's the only way possible you could have a response like "I couldn't remember what happened before birth."

It's simple, before one is born there is no brain since the brain hasn't even grown. Therefore memories aren't possible and cognitive function is not possible. All life is based on cognitive function. Death is cessation of activity in the brain.

Anyway, to postulate that there is life before birth requires some pretty compelling evidence.

And as I said before, claims that are made without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. That has worked phenomenally well in the field of science.

As a last thought, pleasure to respond to the legendary Ulic, I agree with every post in history that you made on RS, which is why I have never replied to any of your posts ever. But there's a first for everything.

Technically we are offtopic and the risk of being banned because we're discussing Metaphysics.
