(10,391 posts)Belief is not evidence or proof of anything. I don't care if 100% of the world's population believe in an afterlife. It just means people are good at indoctrinating their children with false belief systems.
If there was real evidence it would be shouted from the rooftops and awarded. It would be in all the scientific papers. The experiment proving the afterlife would be repeated over and over again. Everyone would want to try and prove it for themselves. I would want to see it carried out.
But there is absolutely no evidence of an afterlife. It is a con so others can control you and to keep you from demanding fairness and equality in this life.

If you got evidence write it up and go get your Nobel prize. Go become the most famous person in the world. Even Eastern Religions would love to see real evidence of their afterlife beliefs.
