re: Heaven and Hell Exist, and I Believe I Know Where

Why would there be such a hard-wiring? Certainly not from evolution. If someone were hard-wired to "ease into death", that would only make that person less cautious regarding death and would definitely not be an evolutionary advantage.

Hell for that matter, how can there even be an advantage when the only time the "advantage" is exercised is the ultimate moment of a person's life when they can't pass on their genes?

Evolution doesn't automatically mean an ''advantage''. For instance: Our adrenaline glands are too big, which can cause us to experience these things that are by and large not good. Take, for instance, getting knocked out which is a terrible tactic even though it does save you.

How? Well, when your head jerks to the side your brain basically flips the switches off to protect you to some degree. (If you see a person's hands coming toward their head it's usually sign of a very bad concussion.) But, it can actually save some important part of the brains.

Unfortunately, it's under the presumption that you're not going to get your head stomped on while you're out.

Evolution does not mean: Impervious to all afflictions, injuries or maladies. It just means that through time certain organisms have adapted.

Some are bad adaptations (large adrenaline glands), some are good (social order).
