I completely agree. Of course I'd like to believe there is life after death, but I can't be certain that there is such a thing. Being someone who used to speak of a past-life as a child, I find cases like that to be very interesting.
It certainly seems possible that we could simply cease to exist when we die. But I also think that the notion of life after death is possible.
One thing I feel certain about is that there is much more to life than what we understand. And I don't believe that science will ever truly be able to explain
why we are here.
