How do you rationalize such a belief, how would it be possible for an after life to evolve or come into being without an outside force or being. Don't you think that you should find out the truth, would you want to know if you are wrong?

Speaking hypothetically of course but it is possible to postulate such a thing.

Premise 1/All life generates an electrical field and your mental activity is pretty much electrical impulses racing around an organic track.

Premise 2/ The planet Earth likewise generates an electrical field.

Conclusion/ when you die your electrical pattern is released and is absorbed by the Earths electrical field where it joins with all the electrical fields of the previously departed.

All of this arising as a natural consequence of complex systems arising as a result of simple systems obeying local laws. No god required.

And since we have evidence of all of the above I can make a stronger case for my postulation than you can for your godBig Grin

Disclaimer: I don't actually believe this to be the case, I made it all up just now to answer GC's question.

What would generate the electrical impulse after one is dead, a person is considered dead when no electrical impulses are present.

GC, please read the disclaimer again.
