What do you mean by "A BEFORE LIFE"? If you mean YOU EXISTED before you were born in a previous life as another person or as a Butterfly then I have to ask you how you know this ?? But if you mean your parents were the "before life" ?? what exactly are you saying ?? I respect your belief as simply a belief or desire or even a need. But if you have evidence of your previous life as a Butterfly then great - lets see it. One thing is for certain, the American media will be onto you in a flash.

My point, clearly stated, is that for this particular question the fact no evidence can be produced would render there being no answers if the question included "ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN SHOW EVIDENCE MAY REPLY" the whole crux of the question "IS THERE AN AFTERLIFE"? has been answered by some in the affirmative !!

The question did not ask - "do you BELIEVE or DESIRE for an AFTERLIFE"!!

I have no problem with people who BELIEVE or WISH for an afterlife or anything else if it makes them whole or feel good.

I have not said that I DO NOT BELIEVE in an afterlife. I have simply stated that those who are adamant there is an afterlife have no way of proving it. and as is often the case they are affronted when their argument is challenged.

I think it arrogant to state - "THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE". it implies that person has absolute proof, how else do you affirm that something does exist??

There is no requirement (upon me) to provide evidence of "NO AFTERLIFE".

The clue is in the first word - "NO" !!!!!

I dont understand why those who exclaim their belief in an afterlife are so arrogant they do not see that -THE ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE - is a prime factor. If the question appended - "only people who can show evidence may reply" - then there would be NO replies from those who hold the view - there is an afterlife.

Likewise the over the top claims on - solar flares - earth billions of years old -Matter - Anti - Matter etc, is irrelevant. The onus is on those who believe in the afterlife to show evidence. This can not be done. So obviously you live in hope and if this is the case you should state this.

Dont over complicate the question, show any evidence and i will be on your side in a flash.
