what the other guy said about first breath but also many people vastly overestimate how many humans there have been.
There have been more humans born since 1900 than before (since humans first appeared).
Comment on If there was an afterlife, how would it work?

Assuming the Christian afterlife, it would be chock full of dead babies and children. They would outnumber adults significantly. Every single failed pregnancy, tiny little unformed baby angels. Even fertilized eggs that just fail to implant, Little blastocysts with wings…
It’s something like 1 in 3 fertilized eggs never get born. Then given global infant and child mortality, another good chunk die really young.
Add on top of that the fact that a good chunk of adults are going to hell, and presto, you have a heaven full of children with an average age well below puberty.
Given that, it’s probably a perpetual pizza party with a ball-pit and some mascots running while listening to baby shark.

Heaven in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is how I imagined it.

Alive babies and children, I guess.
Why do you think they are dead then?

Scripture says the soul enters the body on the first breath.
And anyone who still argues anyhow… will likely say they’re condemned to hell because they were unable to accept their “lord and savior” (who ostensibly created everything so he could larp as such,)
