Here is an interview for our weekly campus apologetics meeting at The Ohio State University. Here we interview Dr. Clay Jones: about his new book Immortal: How the Fear of Death Drives Us and What We Can Do About It. Some of the questions that are discussed are the following:
- What led you to write this book?
- How much do people fear their deaths?
- You write that the fear of death drives people, what do you mean by that?
- What do you mean by literal immortality projects?
- How successful are literal immortality projects?
- Many movies and TV shows talk about computers becoming conscious and we hear a lot about things like brain uploading and the singularity. What’s that about?
- Is it realistic that one day we’ll be able to upload our brains?
- An increasing number of people say they intend to be frozen, is that going to work?
- What are symbolic immortality projects?
- What’s wrong with symbolic immortality projects?
- How do atheists handle their fear of death?
- Many in our society have rejected belief in an afterlife, what is that doing to them?
- You mention in your book that a lot of Christians fear death, why is that?
- What is the Christian’s answer to the fear of death?
