Tell me, how long did it take humanity to discover the existence of DNA?
What I would suggest is never ever claim that there is no afterlife as some sort of fact because it is near impossible to prove through empirical science.
I understand that science has explained about the world and life in general in many ways, but to use current science as a way to disprove the possibility of an afterlife is a bit ironic.
Science will always be in a flux of change so who knows what the current understanding of science will be 100 years from now.
Read more about quantum science and how that will significantly change the way we view the world.
You seem a tad personally offended that I am willing to assert that we have no reason to believe that there is an afterlife. I believe I recall you talking about religion the discord some time ago? Maybe you feel as if your faith has been attacked. It would certainly explain these confused, rambling rebuttals.
Your assertion that we should never take current scientific understanding into account when making hypotheses is ridiculous for obvious reasons.
Your implication that, because of the relative recency of our discovery of DNA, that science will probably eventually find the existence of spirits, gods, extra-dimensional beings, and alternate dimensions through which we have an afterlife is ridiculous as well. Just because you believe something strongly does not mean science must someday agree with you, especially when your beliefs fundamentally go against ALL scientific knowledge we have that could lead us to ANY conclusion about this topic.
“Quantum science” doesn’t actually refer to anything in particular, but I have to assume you’re talking about particles and how they make up the universe. While this too is still an unknown and debated topic, nothing about it points to an afterlife.
Contrary to what you wish to believe, I have never said I know for 100% certain what lies beyond. On the contrary, I’ve been consistent in saying that no one can truly know what lies beyond. But all that we know about neuroscience and the world around us points to human beings ceasing to exist once the electrical impulses that make us up no longer function. It’s certainly possible that idea is wrong, and in fact I
hope it is wrong because I find the idea of no longer existing absolutely terrifying. But I have never once heard a more reasonable explanation than that one.
The fact that you read the statement “I am 100% certain that there is no afterlife” when it was never actually written says an awful lot about your mental state in regards to this topic. You find even the mere
idea that there is no afterlife offensive.
