I believe that life here on earth has a beginning and an end
But once we get to heaven we will be eternally in the present
I think that this is a great gift to possess
Life everlasting how sweet, how blessed.

In metaphysical models, theists generally believe some sort of afterlife awaits people when they die. Atheists generally believe that there is not a life after death. However, other atheists like Buddhists, tend to believe in an afterlife like reincarnation but without reference to God. Agnostics generally hold the position that like the existence of God, the existence of supernatural phenomena, such as souls or life after death, is unverifiable and therefore unknowable. Some philosophies (i.e. posthumanism, Humanism, and often empiricism) generally hold that there is not an afterlife.

Modern science, in general, either describes the universe and human beings without reference to a soul or to an afterlife; or tends to remain mute on the issue. Scientific method offers few tools for investigating the concepts. One famous study, was conducted in 1901 by physician Duncan MacDougall, who sought to measure the weight purportedly lost by a human body when the soul departed the body upon death. MacDougall weighed dying patients in an attempt to prove that the soul was material, tangible and thus measurable. These experiments are widely considered to have had little if any scientific merit, and although MacDougall's results varied considerably from "21 grams," for some people this figure has become synonymous with the measure of a soul's mass. The 2003 movie 21 Grams was based on MacDougall's findings.

Others, such as Francis Crick in 1994, have attempted a ‘scientific search for the soul’. Lastly, we have the views of Frank Tipler, who argues that physics can explain immortality.

Some investigations have been conduced which failed to find evidence that out “out-of-body” experiences transcend the confines of the brain. One hospital, in order to validate claims of out-of-body experiences, for example, placed an LED marquee above its patients’ beds which displayed a hidden message that could only be read if one were looking down from above. As of 2001, no one who claimed near-death experience or out-of-body experience within that hospital had reported having seen the hidden message

I believe that's its in endless cycle beginning over and over again. We are given lessons within each life we enter, and if the lesson we don't learn, we re-enter that same one, otherwise if the lesson is learned then we move to the next lesson, and that's why I also believe in the stars of astrology we just keep going round and round until we've reach that final lesson learned we eventually appear in heaven, maybe that's why there are so many people in the world today is because they never really find their true happiness which is the lesson we are suppose to learn...just my thoughts...

life has a begining and an end to supply the universe's infinite circle of life. everything in us is a compound of different elements and energies that is relaesed to different lifeforms when we die, such as decomposers. the decomposers feed plants, feeding herbavors, feeding diferent levels of carnivors ect.
even our "spirit" is probably just an energy that is released to supply other lifeforms.

if you really ask me, life, as we think, is atually just a state.The soul, like matter, is neither created nor destoryed. It just transforms from one form to another. The body is just a piece of clothing that the soul wears. When a "person" dies, its actually the soul who is removing the clothes and changing it to another piece of clothing. Although there is no scientific proof available right now, there have been numerous instances when people have experienced visions of previous birth.

Life is an infinite spiral. Whether it goes up or down is up to you.
