Whoa. The whole point of faith is believing what you cannot see or prove. Check out 1 Peter. There's a fundamental flaw in asking nonbelievers to disprove God or eternal life just as there is in asking believers to conclusively prove God's existence.

Cognitive thought rests in your brain, what you see, hear, taste, touch, are just electrical impulses interpreted by your brain. If a person suffers a brain injury significant loss of memory, motor skills and personality traits can occur. When a person dies all bio electrical activity in the brain ceases. So as a person dies, their brain dies too. As the brain dies a persons perceptions of their surrounding alter, tunnel vision, the eyes become more sensative to light, the mind has a difficult time determining memories from the present, all the description from people with near death experiences. You can interpret them as a person going to heaven, or as a loss of oxygenated blood flow to the brain resulting in cognative loss of abilities. I prefer the latter, it's not as happy fluffy, but more practical.

Nice try. Let's explain this *again*: If you make an assertion the burden of proof is yours to prove it, i.e if you say that Santa is real then you must offer evidence that supports your claim or detail the experiments that you have done and the results that support your claim. This evidence and/or experiments can be evaluated and hopefully reproduced by others, if not then your assertion is rejected.
The second thing is: you don't disprove a negative i.e. prove that unicorns don't exist. You only prove positives i.e. prove that addition is closed over integers.

Another example of the challenge to prove a negative. The claim of an after life is an extraordinary claim, there fore it requires extraordinary proof.

The lack of an afterlife is the observable universe. No one and no animal that has ever died has come back to life. (near death experiences have been proved to be mere hallucinations due to oxygen starvation in the brain)

One does not have to prove the negative. You have to prove the positive.

Your challenge is like asking you to prove Peter Pan and Never Never Land don't exist. It's silly.

I have an invisible friend named Martin the Squirrel. He's friendly and all, but he frequently leaves the toilet seat up at my home, which makes the females in the house very upset. I've tried to tell them it's Martin the Squirrel, but they don't believe he exists. I just tell them to prove it, and then I'll agree with them. They ask me to prove he does exist...I point to the toilet seat and say "see...he exists because the seat is up".

Same logic...

Easy. Death can be defined as the end of life. For life to continue after the end of life is a contradiction. Therefore there is no life after death.
Q.E.D.

we dont need to cause we dont care. why is it up to us, as it stands at the moment there is no proof for there being life after death, if you think something exists, you prove it, its like any oter scientific theory, the person that thinks of it need s t prove it, go fo it, this should be fun

*drink*

If there is no life after death, how could that be proven? But, considering that consciousness has been shown to be directly related to brain function, and considering that the brain stops functioning at death, what more proof is needed?

*sigh* Drink.

Can't you even TRY to be original? Really!

You can't prove an absolute negative. Only a positive statement can be tested and proved. Ergo, you must be the one with the proof.

Otherwise, I demand that you bow down to FSM because you can't prove HE doesn't exist.

We don't have to, There is nothing to prove...you cannot prove a negative. "If people think god is interesting, The onus is on them to prove there is something to be interested in, if not they should just shut up about it"
