Is There a Scientific Basis for an Afterlife?

[Purple Rabbit]

So our consciousness is something stored within our brain... which would make it reliant on a chemical process. But is the information stored on a computer hard drive purely the digital representation... or is the sum of the information something entirely different that has no meaning without the interpreter?

I believe it's the latter: I believe the physical processes only carry information and interpret it. That the information isn't "physical".

Well, I agree that information (on a semantic level) is not the physical storage in our brain. Still there is ample evidence that consciousnes without a brain is seriously problematic, it hasn't been observed to exist. Not under the conditions of scientific scrutiny that is.

So I agree that consciouness is not the same as physical storage, yet the evidence for the fact that some brain is neccessary for experiencing consciousness of any sort is overwhelming.
