My $0.02 on the question wither or not there is an afterlife.
I am very convinced by the arguments about human consciousness being entirely material, therefore I do not believe there is an afterlife. Because if human consciousness is entirely material, the consciousness dies with the person.
In fact I have seen research about so called near death experiences and is nothing more than an side effect of cutting off oxygen to a certain part of the brain. For example; pilots being trained for high acceleration in a centrifuge report the same phenomenon as those who have had near death experiences.
Then again I go for the "absence of evidence is indeed evidence of absence" assumption.
