There is also another way of looking at it !
Suppose the present life is a dream, and no way to know that it is a dream till the dreamer (the real 'we' ) wake up, then where is death ? It would be just an end of another dream. Right now we wake up at times badly frightened out of some dreams, and heave a sigh of relief, saying 'Oh! thank God, it was only a dream, but it seemed so real!"... well if a person comes in that dream to assure us that after all it is a dream, are we going to believe it?
Well, all this apart, please try to look at it also as life before this life. What could have been the exact point when life started to us during this life? Take all the medical & scientific help to precisely point it out!
It is very difficult to agree with someone who just 'believes' , because that someone has no experience, just a blind belief! Ancient Indian masters, and even some ancient Buddhist Masters of other eastern countries, have evolved a meditation to actually experience 'death' while alive, consciously, so that we depart the right way, when it actually happens( a very significant aspect of eastern spirituality, something that India can be really proud of(since such meditations are even now available!)

I do. Isn't it nice to know we are given another chance to really experience a life so different from what we have now? Doesn't it give us that kind of security we long for - like there's a reward awaits us for the kindness we've done to others on this earth?..That the good deeds and sacrifices that go along with them would somehow be our passport into reaching a perfect life promised beyond death? Would you not rather believe?...Or would you just go wasting this life on the thought
that everything comes to an end with or without purpose,..and that nothing comes after dying except being buried and get
rotten? There is more to life,..but there is MUCH MORE in life after death.

Chris, that's the million dollar question. Yes, I believe we are reborn. Lets reverse our thinking for a moment. Can you imagine no life after death. What kind of state would your mind be in right now? To think after creating all that you see around you; the earth, the sky, the ocean, that the Creator would have no further plans for us is inconceivable to me. My advice is live as though you are being tested to go to the next life after we pass on from this one. If I am right and passed the test, then I can look forward to a beautiful hereafter. If I didn't believe and failed the test and then it turned out that there was a hereafter then I am in great trouble! If I lived as though I was being tested and there turned out to be nothing but a big void, then I've lived a great live right here, God Bless....

In the absence of any experiential confirmation, we only have a concept. I believe that the concept is born due to this firm feeling most of us get in our life as though we are not merely this body that carries and serves us.... that we are superior to this body since we own it so long as it remains serviceable.

Therefore, a logical corollary is that when death comes, it is just the physical body that becomes useless to serve our purpose..... and we being a superior entity must either be able to acquire another body or exist without a physical body.

Anyone who feels that he/she is not merely this physical body, would be highly inclined to believe in afterlife, but I do not subscribe to the total accuracy of the details of afterlife or reincarnation as believed in Christianity or Hinduism or Buddhism.

You live for 100 years,you die and come back as something else.
Unless you had memory of your first life the next one would be meaningless.
The universe is a finite entity so when it ends so do you.
Consider the universe is at least 6 billion years old.
How could you becoming back a trillion years from now?

in chapter 6 , eigth shloka, the above is confirmed

death is what happens when your life stops.
you may get a few milliseconds of heightened awareness but when the lights go out it most certainly is finished. forever.

The difficulty is not in believing it: the problem is in proving it.
