How about this, I keep losing one of my socks at night. Since I don't have any evidence proving it isn't tiny little gnomes sneaking into my room to steal them, should I keep an open mind to it? Lack of evidence proving something is false is no reason to keep an open mind to it. One can only go by the reasonableness of the thing in question. Is it reasonable to believe tiny little gnomes are stealing my socks? No, so there is no need to keep an open mind until evidence proves otherwise. Is it reasonable to think the soul lives on after death? No, so there is no need to keep an open mind to it.
Plus, how would one go about obtaining evidence proving there is no afterlife?
