Question.
If the claim of life after death is rejected because there is no evidence for it, shouldn't the claim of oblivion after death be rejected because there is no evidence for it?
Welcome.
In my opinion, one seems more reasonable than the other, so we can't be sure there is just "oblivion" after death, but as there seems to be continuing evidence for brain being the sole "control center" for our consciousness (i.e. monism), then one can only reasonably conclude that when the brain dies, all of consciousness dies with it.
