So, if there is nothing on the other side, you will not experience it - EXACTLY like the time before you were born. Do you remember the 1890s? Of course you don't, you can't experience not being alive.

Show me evidence of any one of the hundreds of supreme beings who supposedly created this place, and I'll completely debunk it. Show me one of these Gods in person and I'll shake its hand. Or noodly appendage.

Thankfully there's zero chance of living forever.

Shenshen wrote: » The "eternal death" bit. Ceasing to exist. Mind you, I'm in no rush, but there is some comfort in knowing that at the end, you just die and disappear. I like that thought.

Would we live and grow old like now or... would we be young and healthy forever without any problems? It sounds great at first but... try to imagine living like that for a million, billion, trillion... trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion x trillion years. And then after that... living the same number of years after that... forever. I like life and I don't want to die because I fear it but... I think when I experience something I want an ending even though I am irrational and sometimes want to keep living. So if there is an afterlife how will life be different than now?

Until such a point as there is overwhelming evidence in their favour, the scientific method is that the claim is unsupported and the status quo is maintained - in this instance, that there is no evidence that a god exists.
