    It's rather a limitation of human science. We have not yet have the technology to explore deep into a human brain yet. Not to mention that we don't have the technology to explore into another space/time, that's where the advocated spiritual realm is supposed to be located.

    Hopelessly waiting for our technology to be capable doesn't sound to be a viable solution, in terms of something concerning one's dead or alive. Life is short, not long enough for human science to establish experiments or gathering evidence in another space/time.

    On the other hand and as the most common way for humans to reach a truth of any kind, we can choose to rely on faith in testimonies (of the existence of a God) to reach the area which otherwise unreachable by mankind!

    All the evidence in the world is powerless when confronted by a closed mind. Your inability to survey the evidence is your problem, not mine. I really don't have any investment in what you choose to believe. I try to pursue the truth. I'm weird that way. But I'm old enough & experienced enough to have no expectations that others will follow my example.

    What you think is truth is what a rational mind calls self delusion. But if it gives you comfort good luck my friend.

    If faith works for you that is all well and good.

    You do realize others would say the same of your world-view, don't you?

    Christianity is either true for everybody or it is true for nobody.

    So nobody from any other religion will have a life after death or will they go to their own religions after death existance.

    Nope. I doubt that any rational person would criticize another for failing to believe in something for which there is no evidence.
