Quote: So, as an atheist, how do you explain to others that when we die we simply cease to exist through explainable science and that we don't migrate to any kind of afterlife?
I insist that the shoe is on the other foot. Humans have this compelling need to be special. Therefore those who claim special status must demonstrate the validity of their claims. Let them produce evidence of an afterlife. So far, no one has done it which by this point has become a fairly epic level of failure. I am secure in the understanding that just like every other animal on the planet when the light goes out that's the end. The idea that the universe cannot move forward without us is pure human ego run amok.
Welcome.
