I told you that I had no evidence to assert any plain of afterlife, but that because I have a subjective sense of a state in which I did not live, that is, what it was like before I was born, I am inclined to lean toward death being similar. That combined with zero evidence to support the idea of an afterlife, is enough to hold my belief without penalty. In short, I don't know what happens after we die, I can only imagine a similar state, and that strikes me as similar enough to be satisfying.
Ok.
So you hold the view that when a homo sapien dies, they cease to exist.
Ok.
Moving on...
Do you think life first began on earth because it was put here by an intelligent life form that existed already or do you think life originated as a result of certain chemical reactions interacting with matter? If your view falls under neither of the above, then what is your view?
