I'm not looking for bible quotes here. I want solid verifiable facts. Something you can put right next to gravity and say it is obviously true without any leap of faith.

well, I don't think believing what the Bible says is any leap of faith. I have absolute faith in it AS FACT. and as for the above comment about no people coming back to life...remember Jesus? and Lazarus? and the several other people mentioned as being raised from the dead? also, it didn't just happen in Bible times. see the book 90 minutes in Heaven. but, i wouldn't count on being raised from the dead...prepare yourself now. it's good that you're seeking truth. see The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.

Gravity is a law, and the law is obviously not true.
Law & grace are compared as lie & truth in John 1:17.
Wrongful convictions, of the law, are obviously not true.
Faith? "The law is not of faith": Galatians 3: 11,12.
So begin faith-->hope-->charity with grace, unless
you want your hope to be hopeless instead of hopeful.
Die? Die to the law makes you free of die by the law.
Dying to the law is as becoming alive unto God(Grace).
May you make it to the end of the shew "alive unto God".
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

People make up afterlives for one main reason. They see all around them the cycles of life in nature; life returning to an area devastated by fire, new organisms living on after the old ones have died, etc. Such things are commonplace in nature. However, most of us as humans, in our anthropocentric attitude, fail to see that we are only a part of the cycle, not a cycle in ourselves. We don't want to grasp that it will be our children and their children that will be living on, not ourselves personally. It also has a bit to do with our natural fear of death, the unknown, but my first reason is the main one.

What happens when we die? We die. The
body shuts down and that's the end.
Since you skipped science class, your
best bet would be to visit a coroner. They
will be happy to perform an autopsy to help
explain it all.

see my 360 blog. the body goes in the ground where we bury it, and decomposes.
People get the wrong idea about the word "Soul" Soul= body and breath or air. The air leaves the body and the body goes in the ground. but there are texts in the Bible that actually support this thesis.

Since you don't want a Bible quote but you do want proof, you would have to be open to proof about the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and the divine inspiration of the Scriptures. Here's a couple of links if you really want to examine the evidence and don't already have your mind made up to discount whatever argument might be put forth to support these issues.
Link from the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Law school site.

Testimony of the Evangelists by Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853)
Greenleaf, one of the principle founders of the Harvard Law School, originally set out to disprove the biblical testimony concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was certain that a careful examination of the internal witness of the Gospels would dispel all the myths at the heart of Christianity. But this legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection did in fact happen.

A while back, I tried to provide christians with proof of life after death and sadly most of them called me crazy. Could it be that they're not as sold on this whole life after death thing as they profess?

You can not see the wind, but you know it is there. You can not see gravity which is a force, but it is there. God is a force also. He is a loving force. If you have ever loved anyone, then you have experienced a part of what God is, for He is the source of all love.

We go into the ground, that much is a given.
The other given is that your brain shuts down; so I'd imagine it is like being put under for surgery......except you never wake up.

The only verifiable fact about death is you decay. Everything else is just speculation.
