| That, Tycoon, would be my honest attitude toward the subject as well.
But what I was trying to point out is that there's no practical reason to assume that an afterlife could not be a natural occurrence. The suggestion was that an afterlife would infer a god. I don't see the connection. The idea that an afterlife supposes a god is simply another case of god-of-gaps reasoning.
There's no irrefutable evidence of an afterlife. There's no reason to believe that even if one existed, it would be similar to any one of the many descriptions of it in various mythologies. And even if there was an afterlife, there's no reason to suppose it couldn't be just another natural process. Since nothing is known factually about it, anything can be imagined. |
