There is plenty of evidence that when we die, we're just dead. You just have to look at an Alzheimer's patient or other person with a degenerative brain injury to see how who the person is deteriorates as the brain deteriorates.
On the other hand, there is no real evidence of life after death. And there is no perceived mechanism for how one would function without a body. There's no reason there would be life after death.

Read the book: "Life After Life". It's a book with 50+ examples of people who were declared clinically dead, who witnessed & traveled through the same experiences & routes, but ended back into their bodies for different reasons. Some questions that were asked was whether or not they were on morophine or some other painkillers at the time of death. Some, while on the operating table, saw their own bodies as their spirits hovered above it, out of body experiences. All the cases were documented by physicians, some athiests, and other witnesses as to the physical aspects. All were identical experiences, they saw the same things in their "travels", felt no pain, all peace, and came back with no fear of death or the future. If you have a real interest in this subject (and I think you do), read this book. It isn't a book that reflects a religious principle in it. It's all metaphysical experiences. It will give you chills.

The evidence i have for it is just a questionable as going to heaven. None of it can be proven.
But I think we are reincarnated if we are good and worthy of it. If not we are destoyed and never live again.

There is nothing supernatural, only Nature we do not yet understand.
There are plenty of compelling stories, but no true evidence of life after death. Quite honestly, we don't even know if we really actually die.

the fast answer: Denial. The long answer: human beings do no longer desire to have self assurance that this existence is all there is so as that they eagerly and unquestioningly settle for dogma that announces they are going to stay to tell the story actual dying. i assume they envision themselves prancing from cloud to cloud with Jesus whilst they're ineffective. it extremely is friendly to have self assurance that, so as that they suspect it. human beings such as you (the author of the question) place greater cost on info, reason, and fact than emotionally-comforting ideas. regrettably, the comparable can not be reported for persons who have self assurance in an after-existence. with reference to the so-referred to as "close to dying reports" the place human beings see a shiny mild and experience at peace and probably even see their ineffective relatives contributors or in spite of... that has a in basic terms medical clarification. the reason this journey is so consistent between human beings is on the grounds it extremely is how the human ideas hallucinates whilst starved of oxygen. this is the info: military pilots who prepare in severe G centrifuges record comparable visions presently whilst they bypass out: white mild and hallucinations. this happens because of fact the blood of their bodies rushes into their legs because of severe Gs. on account that there is quite little blood (and oxygen) left interior the top, they start to hallucinate. It has no longer something to do with the supernatural. it extremely is in basic terms how the human ideas works. whilst human beings are close to to dying, they often journey the two cardiac arrest or respiration failure, the two considered one of which make a contribution to decreased stages of oxygen interior the blood and the resultant hallucinations.

you will go to the life of Burzokh (life of death in Islam).
the best near example of death is sleeping, when having a nightmare, you are the only one who is seeing ur dream, but the rest of people just think u r sleeping not feeling anything.

Everything that goes to make up a person - your character, your personality etc. - is provably a function of the physical brain. Therefore when the body dies, you cease to exist. It's as simple as that.

Only some vague evidence of ghosts.

Not to my knowledge. There is a lot of information within religious circles but nothing which is "hard core" fact. Wish I could tell you better.
