Whether you believe in it or not I think the answer is 0. Anyone voting D should explain the evidence

i'm willing to count near-death experiences as more than zero, even if i believe that they are just normal dying brain functions. but even that isn't much.

The near death experience phenomena shows that there's just things we don't understand. Could be like a fever dream and then nothing, or there could be something else there

But I actually lean towards no afterlife. Makes the most sense to me. But like I've said before, I'm an "intelligent" bipedal chimp that actually knows very little about the greater workings of the cosmos. So again, fuck if I know

Except for your belief on the afterlife this actually sums up how I feel perfectly.

I think our brains just do whatever it can to shield us from the pain/reality of dying

Logically if you deny all spirituality you confirm an afterlife.

Why?

It means consciousness is purely physical and we know the physical world recycles itself.

Even the universe itself is thought to recollapse and big bang again.

Which means your consciousness will eventually recycle after you died.

I'm not sure that I have evidence. Maybe a question though. If there is no such thing, why is it still a big deal to BILLIONS of people on this planet, regardless of faith, since like the dawn of our time? I mean, most people can distinguish fiction from reality, relatively speaking. No one truly believes in Santa, but no one trips outs or devotes there life to it. Humans continually trip out on the afterlife, doing good and bad things about it. I'm just saying, if it's so obvious that there is no proof or that it doesn't exist, then why does there seem to be something in the human spirit that leads so many people to this belief...

Dying is scary and real. Also true nothingness is hard to fathom. I wouldn't put Santa in the same realm as death/afterlife.

I'm just saying there is something that gives us pause here, and not in similar make believe worlds.

I can leave my body via Astral projection so its not total proof for me but a tiny bit that our minds are possibly separate from our body. Regardless of it maybe just being a function of our brain, its fascinating either way.

It takes 7 minutes for the brain to die, according to something I read somewhere once. What if, in that 7 minutes, our brain trips out and makes it seem like eternity, and we "dream" for millenia, when in the real world it's only 7 minutes

Just shit like that that crosses our minds. There are still greater questions we have no answers for, and we are foolish to say definitely one way or the other

So while I lean towards nothing, I also accept that I don't know shit. I wasn't meant to. I was meant to hunt for buffalo n shit, that's what my body was built for

And though we've become greater than that, our minds haven't become something that can reach outside the boundaries of space, time or reality, and we won't know until it comes for us

And if it's nothing, then it won't matter anyway

We probably evolved to be inclined to think gods exist and a spirit world. It would likely pop up at the time we became capable of recognizing our own mortality. If the first humans did not expect they would keep existing in a spirit world upon physical death, it might have crippled our species with fear and distress

I'd love to run a test on that, like I'll write a number on a sheet of paper, or hold a shape in another room and you tell me what it is

Unless it mysteriously stops working when truth is involved

Well said, and if there is, let's hope it's good for us all.

No, there is no evidence of an afterlife. Nor is there evidence there is no afterlife.

D, kind of

Because of some behavior and instincts being somewhat predetermined and passed down. Something had to will that into living things before creation and birth, because how could have the originals came to prosper and survive to have offspring? It can't all be sheer coincidence.

Argumentum ad populum

In argumentation theory, an argumentum ad populum is a fallacious argument which is based on claiming a truth or affirming something is good because the majority thinks so.
