Rayaan,
Sadly there is now strong evidence, really strong, against the whole idea of souls, afterlife and such like. I posted this a couple of days ago:

As for the idea of self in some ways I am the same guy I was when I was 25 but in many ways I am not. I read some of the things I wrote then and have no memory of writing them. I am often surprised by the things I said. Even for things I do recall I regularly find myself thinking about them as if it happened to a third party. Emotional events tend to be more about "me" than intellectual or physical ones. I have no idea if others experience things this way or not.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
