Yes, I believe life after death is possible.
However, probably not in the way most would think. I try to look at this from a logical point of view. If you know what the first law of thermodynamics is, in the way that energy is neither created or destroyed triggers a peculiar thought process in me.
When we die our energy has to be transferred, transformed or converted as the second law of thermodynamics states. So if our energy, essence, life force or what have you is transformed, transferred or converted then it is feasible to assume that there is something else after death.
What this could be I can only guess, but I am more apt to believe that it is going to be closest to what we really believe it to be on an individual basis. If some of us are bought up in the Christian faith, then I believe it to be logical to assume that the after life experience would be similar to what that religion's imprint in this area has been on that person.
Really to be honest I am thinking that there could be different stages to the afterlife...many in fact initiated by different levels of clarity or consciousness. This plays on the meditation rule of awareness and enlightenment. I am more apt to believe in this theory than any other because it seems most logical to me.
If I had to believe that God was not a scientific being then I would probably be a fool. If God created all things then he has to have a thorough understanding of physics, chemistry, biology, and possibly other sciences yet to be discovered by earthly means.
With that being said it really gets me when religious people scoff at science. We are products of Science, not God if you think about this subject from an open mind. God created us from scientific laws and knowledge. I highly doubt (if this is even the case) that God created us out of magic. Which would explain spontaneous creation of all things if they were created using the creation theory in the bible in a literal way.
It would really not surprise me at all if God turned out to be an advance race of aliens or something like that. Really if we stepped 100 years into the future, we would hardly recognize the world as it is let alone a race of aliens 1000 years+ knocking on earths door.
I am merely trying to make sense of everything and really to me this is what does it for me. I know religion has it's role in society and without it, life would be drastically different here, but since it does exist we have to learn to co-exist with the people who take it too seriously or literally and cause problems within society, but on the other hand these people can do tremendous things in the name of a God.
So all in all religion is not a bad thing, nor is the belief in heaven or hell. But for me I would like to think of a more practical example except of that one surrounded in mystery.
Good luck in your search for the truth...I suppose we will all find out eventually!

You query is fallacious... Evolution is a tested clinical truth. Even individuals have complex over the years. Evolution is predominant to survival of the species. It's the cause the common human is taller now than that they had been two hundred years ago. It have to 100% acquire potential of in all colleges. Now, the inspiration that men and women and exceptional organisms built from unmarried celled organisms is a suggestion as is creationism within the view of scientists. I believe that if one suggestion is going to be trained, then the reverse will must research. It isn't the role of the university to present a one sided view on how existence on the earth started. I suppose that if creationism is taught from the suggestion side, then it does not intervene with the separation of church and state. It additionally does no longer press any ideals onto the scholars. The key's to instruct that the suggestion is that existence used to be created through a better being. All religions have very an identical reports, so coach the inspiration, not the specifics. Actually despite the fact that, I believe that if neither are taught, that is ok too. I comfortably don't believe one have to be expert with out the reverse. As for you, do you could have an trained cause at the back of this perception?

We need to trust this.
It is simple. What is that without which this body ceases to function? It is by common sense to understand that some element from us vanishes out and that is what was keeping us alive all these days.
That thing is the eternal and is the actual self. It is now upto the God whether he puts us back in a life cycle or allotts heaven or hell. But we surely will come back when he graces us with a human body.
We need to understand this subject in full through a true saint and not in **** and bits as we are doing at present.
But until that time keeping inquisitive about the subject is OK. Though the answers that you get may not be OK.

there are very convincing reasons to believe in life after death.
- First, all the prophets of God have called their people to believe in it.
- Secondly, whenever a human society is built on the basis of this belief, it has been the most ideal and peaceful society, free of social and moral evils.
- Thirdly, history bears witness that whenever this belief is rejected collectively by a group of people in spite of the repeated warning of the Prophet, the group as a whole has been punished by God even in this world.
-Fourthly, moral, aesthetic and rational faculties of man endorse the possibility of life after death.
- Fifthly, God's attributes of Justice and Mercy have no meaning if there is no life after death.

I believe in Jesus, He suffered and died for my sins, so that I will spend eternity with God. You too, if you want to have eternal life, need to confess that you are a sinner deserving of God's wrath but believe that Jesus Christ took your punishment for you and ask for forgiveness. Then you must be baptized by immersion in the name of Father, the Son, and the Holy spirit.
What have you got to lose but alot of baggage and garbage. It's the great exchange- your garbage for His best!
Have faith on Him who took your punishment so you can spend eternity with God.
God bless!

The dreams of humans should not be interpreted as their logic of what is fact. If our dreams say we live in an afterlife, then why isn't there any spiderman, batman, or superman around? In fact, where is God? We have had 2 world wars. What use is an idle god? Even a founding father thought it wise to question such things:
“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear”
- Thomas Jefferson

I hate to share for fear of being "dumped on" by someone who hasn't experienced *a life after death experience*. So for this reason I will keep my experience private. But I KNOW for 100% surety there is Life after death! I drowned and was resuscitated, If you want to know more message me and I will share my experience with you.

Bhagavad-gita-2.12 & 13
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.
Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both. That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. Bhagavad-gita-2.16 & 17
An excerpt from the purport by Purport by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON,
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness).
There is no endurance of the changing body. That the body is changing every moment by the actions and reactions of the different cells is admitted by modern medical science; and thus growth and old age are taking place in the body. But the spirit soul exists permanently, remaining the same despite all changes of the body and the mind. That is the difference between matter and spirit. By nature, the body is ever changing, and the soul is eternal. This conclusion is established by all classes of seers of the truth, both impersonalist and personalist. In the Vishnu Purana (2.12.38) it is stated that Vishnu and His abodes all have self-illuminated spiritual existence (jyotimsii vishnur bhuvanani vishnuh). The words existent and nonexistent refer only to spirit and matter. That is the version of all seers of truth.
Lord Krishna gives further information in chapter two, verses 22 to 25,
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones. The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.
