WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY AFTER DEATH

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY AFTER DEATH

Following death the flesh of the body goes through five stages. The first stage consists of the ‘mortis‘phases. The blood isn’t being pumped through the body so due to gravity it pools in certain areas, and this is known as livor mortis. Shortly after this, the muscular tissue becomes rigid and incapable of relaxing, a state called rigor mortis. Next the body loses heat and cools in a process called algor mortis. Second, the body goes through bloat, in which means that microbes are rapidly growing and forming gases within the body. This is also usually when bugs and insects begin to feed and reproduce on the remains. In the third stage there is rapid loss of mass due to insect feeding and natural purging of fluids due to decomposition. Advanced decay is the fourth stage, and there is little left of the body at this point. Finally, the last stage is skeletonization when no flesh remains. But this isn’t the end- bones are also subject to continued decay, the study of which is known as taphonomy and is extremely important for archaeologists.
There can be extrinsic (external) factors, or intrinsic (internal) factors that affect preservation. Soil characteristics have a major effect on whether bone is preserved. As soil temperature and acidity increases in the soil, it is less likely that the bone will be preserved. Types of soil also affect whether bone is preserved: sand can preserve bone very well, whereas salt and chalk are destructive to bone (for more on these external factors see this article by Baxter). Other factors include water, which in an anaerobic environment causes preservation and aerobic causes destruction. Internal factors like the porosity of the bone can also affect preservation. The bones of the very old or very young are often more porous due to osteoporosis or lack of development, respectively. In cemeteries we rarely find infant remains, which could be due to the fact that they don’t preserve well or that they are buried elsewhere .

ALBERT EINSTIEN ON RESURRECTION:

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 to April 18, 1955) was a German mathematician and physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. In the following decade, he immigrated to the U.S. after being targeted by the Nazis. His work also had a major impact on the development of atomic energy. In his later years, Einstein focused on unified field theory. With his passion for inquiry, Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century.
"I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.”
G. S. Viereck, Glimpses of the Great (Macauley, New York, 1930), quoted by D. Brian, Einstein: A Life , p. 186.

MATTHEW ALLEN NEWLAND's STUDY:

Matthew Allen Newland, PhD (c) studies at the Dominican University College of Ottawa, Ontario. He lives in Montreal, Quebec with his lovely wife, Olesia, and their two young children. He recently published his first book, Waiting in Joyful Hope: Reflections on Humanity’s Desire for Immortality and Its Possibility, which considers the possibility of bodily resurrection in greater detail.

Mathew wrote a book based on the study of Albert Einstien & Physicist Ian Wamsley.This is what he says :
First, it is conceivable that a particular living body could continue on in some form, even after it has died and its component particles have decayed and/or physically separated (whether by an earthquake, a stick of dynamite, or a hungry bear). Second, entanglement suggests that particular events leave a lasting “mark” upon their subjects, right down to the subatomic level. Events unite particles together, whether the spin of a progenitor particle (like a pi meson), or (perhaps!) the shared participation in a particular living body.
So, the efforts of the Romans to prevent their Christian victims from being raised up might have been fruitless, after all. While much more investigation is required before we can speak more definitely about this sort of thing (investigations which I will leave in the hands of physicists, though I will watch and listen with great interest), quantum entanglement offers a fascinating response to an important challenge posed to the possibility of resurrection.
In the meantime, incorruptible saints, bog bodies, Egyptian mummies, and dry bones will continue to lie in wait.
