I'm not mocking, I'm simply stating a fact. If I'm going to be judged before I die, God needs to get on with it... Going off the average life expectancy of men I have about 20 years left if I'm lucky.
Are you expecting judgement within that timeframe?
My heart like everyone else's is a blood pumping organ, it's funny how you see it as something else that can be hardened.... Heart transplants happen, they're just part of the human machinery.
Really Mancunian.
What do you think THE HEART is referring to in ANY writing?
EXCEPT the medical ones, of course.

There is no empirical or scientific proof for the existence of an immaterial soul. Mainstream science and neuroscience view consciousness, thoughts, and emotions as the product of physical brain activity and biological processes.

Antidepressants alter brain chemistry by changing how specific chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) are processed in the space between nerve cells, gradually shifting how the brain responds to emotions and stress.

Painkillers (analgesics) do not "hunt down" or cure the source of pain. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream and interrupt the chemical or electrical signals that tell your brain you are hurt.

Brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, are chemical messengers that allow nerve cells (neurons) to communicate across tiny gaps called synapses. They control everything from thinking and movement to mood and sleep.

Neither has your conscience.
But you have one.
A product of the brain as explained. Happiness a product of the brain, any emotion a product of the brain.
When you're brain dies you die.
When my brain is cremated when I die there will be nothing left of 'me'
'Me' is a grey blob in my skull.

You might like to look up the Cambridge declaration on consciousness.

Interesting reading.

Mammals and Birds-
All mammals and birds possess the neurological structures necessary for conscious experience.
Vertebrates and Invertebrates-
Recent scientific evaluations suggest a realistic possibility of conscious experience across all vertebrates (including fish, reptiles, and amphibians) and many invertebrates, such as cephalopods (octopuses and squid), decapod crustaceans (crayfish and crabs), and even certain insects like bees.

Behaviors and Emotion-
Research shows that animals feel pain, fear, pleasure, and stress. For example, elephants mourn deceased calves, cleaner wrasse recognize themselves in mirrors, and crayfish show anxiety-like behavior that decreases with anti-anxiety medication.

Do you still feel special?

Good to know that you know what consciousness is.
Scientists don't seem to know.

Scientists do know. Scientists don't make things up like invisible body components that supposedly carry on forever after death.
Some scientists spend their whole lives studying and documenting phenomena.... Not one of them has noted the discovery of a soul.

Then I guess we don't have one.

Well God says I have a soul and that’s all I need to know. You know Who created it? God did.

Ezekiel 18:4 (NKJV) “Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die.

@Mancunian, You and I and every person in the world belong to God. He is our Father who created all of our souls and we are His children. Each of us is accountable for the choices we make.
