is there a life after death?

I believe so, based upon not only what the Bible says about it, but also based upon the evidence in nature that points to a Creator.  Many scientists, such as myself, have become believers after examining the numerous things that have to be balanced within 0.00010% or less of where they are for the universe to exist as it does and for life as we know it to be possible.

"Yup. There is nothing after death. It is just like switching off a light bulb."\n\nbut on the other hand the electrical circuitry and infrastructure that powered the light bulb is still there even when the bulb (earthly body) burns out . Bung a new bulb in and who knows?\n\nI'm inclined to believe that when this earthly body burns out the power that motivated it is still there - it's either latent or seeking for a new form.  The "light bulb" is just the external manifestation of thousands of miles of hidden cable, switches, relays, et c, and just because the bublb goes it doesn't negate the existence of all this stuff....

yes there is.. as there is death after life.... life and death should be viewed as passing from one state to another....\n\nlike before you were born were you dead?? and if you came down frm heaven as an innocent child, did u die in heaven and take birth here??

nah.\n\n may be there is no afterlife but death is a reality. people are afraid of death even if they believe in it. as many others said to people are more afraid about how they are going to die. when you are dead you are just dead. no pain. no suffering. nothing. body is destroyed ultimately. back to "panch tatva" (5 elements- earth, water,fire,air, eather/zero/sky fifh element is diificult to translate in english). \n\n  there is a story of dialogues between a Yaksha and Yuddhishthir. "what is the biggest surprise in this world" asked yaksha. "people die everyday; each mortal has to die one day or another; even then in general people are afraid to accept it as a reality which will befall on them too eventually" yuddhishthir said.\n\ni am not in denial. i concentrate on my karma and try to have a ballanced life and attitude and be good. it is for my own satisfaction. \n\nKrishna said  "Karmanyevaadhikaraste" we can only do deeds the result is not in our hands. so if there is heaven or next birth or there is just nothing it does not matter. if there is them i hope my karma was good enough.

Our existence as humans is a temporary state, so to think of someone who has passed away is simple, however life goes on with out there existence, however the energy which makes up there body remains, as nothing destroys energy, they can only alter its form.\n\nNow try to imagine the non existence of our universe, or the non existence of matter which makes up this planet, and the sun, and everything which is our universe.\n\nThat I would say is not so simple to imagine, because we know it to exist, and with direct respect to its existence where do you suppose it came from, can something as tangible as energy, matter, and the universe, non energy, anti matter just exist with out a beginning, or creation.\n\nWell I believe that this is the greatest proof of God Almighty, as I see the proof, and I dare any single person, our group of people to prove differently.\n\nI not only know that God Almighty exists but I shall find him and become God like in the process, and with that knowledge anything, and everything becomes not only possible, but probable.\n\nThe Bible tells us that we were created in Gods image, and Jesus Christ after raising Lazarus from the dead, after he had past away three days prior said Greater things than I have done you shall do also.\n\nI believe that it is Gods wish for us to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and join him.\nAt this point in time we are not even capable of bringing a person back from the dead who has passed away six minutes prior.\n\nI believe in God, and I believe we can become God like and I shall pursue that end, and with Gods help, we shall all become immortal, and populate the universe with total knowledge comes total understanding, and total bliss.

Yes, your body is of this Earth.  After you die, you will never need it again.  But you will be born into a brand new spirit body and that journey lasts forever.

Yes,Of course! According to various religious beliefs, there is definitely a new life after death. The bodies, after death, will be disposed off, but the life in the body, that is the soul, will be born again in another form, either as an animal or a human being again!. there are various instances wherein,some children have spoken of their earlier life with details,as to what he/she was in the previous birth, the location, parents, aquiatances, etc. On physical verification by impartial bodies, these have been found fully factual, and correct.

It's not after life.\n\nWe are in heaven right now, we have never left. Each of us is a part of God. God is in heaven and so are we.\n\nlove and blessings Don

Your question assumes that I have a life now.  People keep telling me to get a life, so I might have a problem answering you. :-P\n\nSeriously, whether you believe there is life after death depends on what you believe about religion.  If there is a God, then there is a good chance that we have a soul that survives after death.  If there is no God, then it's less certain.\n\nIt's hard to tell whether there is a spiritual world around and beyond us that we can't see.  Despite a lot of testing, no scientist has ever found a ghost, or confirmed a miracle.  But, there are many stories told by people whose bodies have died for a short time and then been brought back to life by doctors.  All of these people tell the same story, even though they've never met.  They all went through a sort of tunnel of light, moving upward to a place of great peace and joy.  Some describe reaching that place briefly and encountering God.  If you are interested in these "near-death experiences," I recommend that you read the work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who took down many such stories.\n\nYou also have to take into account all of the reports of miracles and visions that people have experienced throughout history, and continue to experience today.  Scientists have found non-spiritual explanations for some of these things, but not all of them.  They all point toward the existence of God (or many gods), and many of the visions describe an afterlife.\n\nYour question leads to another important question: Since we do not know for certain whether there is an afterlife, how should we live in this life?  Should we live in the way we think is "good," even if it's sometimes hard; or should we go ahead and do whatever we want to do?\n\nThe brilliant French mathematician, Blaise Pascal, looked at your question hundreds of years ago.  He came up with a solution, which is known as "Pascal's Wager."  ("Wager" is another word for "bet.")  Pascal, who was a Christian, believed that the Bible contained God's advice for how to live.  He figured that if there was a God, then God's advice for how to live must be "good."  He also figured that, if there was no God, then there probably was no afterlife, either.\n\nHe said: "Okay.  Let's say that I live my life in a good way.  If there is no afterlife, then my life on Earth will be okay, but uncomfortable at times.  If there is an afterlife, then I will go to Heaven.\n\n"Now, let's say that I don't live in a good way.  If there is no afterlife, then I've had an okay life with no discomfort, because I've done whatever I wanted to do.  But if there is an afterlife, then I will go to Hell.\n\n"So, if I live a good life, the best thing that can happen is that I'll go to Heaven.  At worst, I'll have an okay life with some pains in the butt.  If I live a 'bad' life, the very best thing that can happen is an okay life with no pains in the butt.  At worst, I'll go to Hell.\n\n"No matter what, if I'm good I'll come out way better, or at worst only a little worse-off, than I will if I'm bad.  So, I'll be good."\n\nThat's how Blaise Pascal figured out that, regardless of whether there's an afterlife, it's better to live according to a set of good rules than to go around doing whatever you want.  People all around the world still follow his advice today.

I don't think there is a life after death, only what people remember you for. What's imporatant in life is to be a good person, and that memory will live on long after you die. I live my life because I am alive. Why else would I live?

You can't experience life after death and be able to talk about on Yahoo Answers, because you wouldn't be able to. However, people DO have near-death experiences (NDEs). The most famous ones were the ones that happened to a man named Dannion Brinkley. He's been interviewed on the late-night talk radio program "Coast to Coast AM" several times.

in a way yes and no. There is a Heaven where all saved people go, but you do not get reincarnated into something else in this world.

The question should not be if there's life after death, but is it that we are already dead and seeing our lives flash before us.

Ok your question makes no sense, but is interesting. There is more to life after death than a "hereafter." There's a heaven and hell, and yes, both are real.\nI'm sorry for you that you don't believe in the God I know. I don't worry about my life because I know I'm taken care of.

I think that's like a "what's the meaning of life" question - it really can't be answered so just worry about how to live your life before you die, what's going to happen afterwards is a mystery and I think should be looked upon as an adventure that you never know where it's going to end up.
