You are correct Napoleon. I should have begun this differently.
Hypothesis 1: We live in a universe where in travel to others is possible.
This is very speculative right now. There are a few papers in highly theoretical wormhole physics. (Visser, Matt, 1989, Traversable wormholes from surgically modified Schwarzschild spacetimes, Nuclear Physics B
Volume 328, Issue 1, 11 December 1989, Pages 203–212; M. R. Mehdizadeh, E. Ebrahimi and N. Riazi, 2011, Wormhole deformation of the Reissner-Nordström spacetime, Volume 336, Number 2 (2011), 479-484, DOI: 10.1007/s10509-011-0794-7; etc)
Hypothesis 2: The brain is a meat computer capable of being read and consciousness can be transferred to an other medium.
I think most atheists will agree with this second hypothesis.
If these are correct, then creating an afterlife should be possible. The big one is hypothesis 1. And you're correct there's not too much in actual proof going for it.
As to the that's too big an If... I'm not going to lie its a big if. But what can I say. I'm an optimist.
