Well I believe there is life after death. I see life on this earth as a very small piece of the jigsaw, I believe in some kind of universal consciousness, everything is alive in some way.

When our bodies die, I think it might be possible that we can be brought back into consciousness after death, like maybe we are a tree or a slug or a bit of dust orbiting Saturn. The universe is large until we die then maybe it opens up another way.

So maybe the Earth is "god's waiting room" although I think we cease to be male or female after death unless put back in a body.

conventional science doesn't know the answers to this questions - BUT if our thoughts are electrical energy and energy cannot be destroyed only transformed then it makes scientific sense that the brain waves go somewhere after the organic body and brain cease to work. One day - if they haven't already got one - they will have a machine that can see where this energy goes at the point of death - and they will be able to create images of it like they take photos of the distant galaxies.
