The null hypothesis then should be one that stands.
The only claim that has been made in this thread is that one ceases to exist upon death, therefore it requires evidence to corroborate it.
That's not a claim.
That's an observation.
Wishful thinking has made people come to desire an option in which that observation is not the whole story. And those people have thus made the claim that "one goes on existing after death".
This claim requires evidence.
The observation is self evident.
