It seems electrical impulses send signals around the body and it keeps on jiving. Once something happens to stop all these signals, activity stops.
It was understandable in antiquity tha that humans gap filled with all sorts of polytheistic and monotheistic god claims, the Egyptians had claims of afterlife and judgment too.
But now that evolution and DNA and science says life is finite, it would be just as absurd to think your computer could still function as if it were fully in tact if you smashed it to bits with a sledge hammer.
Life after I die will be exactly like it was before I was born. Humans are as finite as trees, and cockroaches and dinosaurs. We are as finite as the planet and sun. "All this" is a blip in a giant uncaring ride that will have no record of our existence after the sun dies. Yea, not comforting to think about, but that does not make one fatalistic to accept it and deal with the time we have now.
