I don't accept the existence of an afterlife, but disregarding that for a moment, what would be the objection to a naturally occurring afterlife? I agree evolution couldn't account for it, as evolution is a natural process that works on living things. But what is the argument against an afterlife that is natural, not supernatural?
How could there be an naturally occurring afterlife with out a God? Afterlife (Heaven) is what we would call supernatural I guess, it is not known really to occur 'naturally'. It is something we can't really grasp completely, and will never totally understand it. Science always tries to find answers for things we don't know, and when they don't find them in a certain topic, they call it false. Sometimes things are not meant to be understood until we enter the next stage.....

So my point is, something like an afterlife can't just occur naturally, it is beyond that level.

Well, the argument goes as follows:

Do you remember life as it was before birth? No, because you did not have a physical body and thus you did not have memory or a consciousness. You did not exist in any way imaginable. When you die you will once again cease to have a physical body and thus you will once again cease to have memory and a consciousness. You will not exist in any way imaginable.

I know that the idea of an afterlife is so easy to believe in, the assurance that you will continue to live after death. But there is no proof in an afterlife, there is no reason to believe one exists.
Well, like I stated previous, there is proof there is an afterlife, and alot of it.
