Life After Death Is Impossible, Says Scientist

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Can you/the religious give a definition of afterlife and provide evidence of existence, ........evidence that most of us will accept?

My denomination doesn't believe in an afterlife—at least not in a stereotypical sense. They believe resurrections are possible, in a physical souless sense. Resurrections seems to be an issue of difficulty not of possibility. I don't know of any falsifying evidence in that regard.

I can't speak on behalf of other religions. But I do know the psychologist Donald Hoffman and the philosopher Thomas Nagel do offer alternatives to reality in which consciousness (or something like it) comes first and the psychical universe second. Hoffman has an interview with Sam and Anaka Harris in which they discuss the implications of death within such a framework. The speculation was very "afterlife-like" minus the continuation of the self.

So, you find it strange that a physicist discusses the afterlife, but not when a psychologist and a philosopher do?

What training/credentialing would you accept in order for someone to discuss the subject?
