I'm anti bullshit Frodo. If you could demonstrate exactly how fanciful stories of an afterlife concocted by people who lived thousands of years ago (the afterlife is one of our oldest superstitions) is science, then you would have a point. As it stands, you seem to be upset that I'm shitting on your fairy tale. So what? I shit on other peoples fairy tales all day every day on this forum and you're nowhere to be found.
"We don't know and so this may be possible" only applies when whatever you're suggesting is even remotely plausible. The afterlife (and souls or spirits) isn't one of those things. If it were, then so are thetans, astral projection, and yggdrasil. Attempting to shoehorn a fairy tale into a gap in our knowledge is an argument with a name. It's even worse when you have to argue your way into having a gap in the first place.
