I don’t understand the test.

Natural afterlife requires magic. No?

There is another problem with your thesis- there is no scientific evidence for an afterlife. If you have a link to real science and no pseudo-science it would be interesting to read, but I don’t think anyone can show real scientific evidence of an afterlife.

As best as I can figure, and it’s a stretch, the thesis is, since the universe is really, really big\*, and if you count universes (either multiverse, or expanding/contracting, or any other theory), then it is infinite, therefore, it is possible that you could live again, like, the same “you”.

- "You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly **big** it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

Okay miastarr, a tip of my hat to you for producing and sharing your thoughts.

I’ve had a chance to read through it.  
But, besides having to focus on a half year old sweetie who crawls mighty well. Over this past four day weekend, she attacked and mastered the stairs with an enthusiasm and determination that frankly beats and outshines her brothers at that age. Of course, she has the incentive of two lively boys she’s always watching and wanting to keep up with - (_every child grows up within a unique family, even if all share the same family_)

Thanks’be, that they still take naps and today I’m soloing until early evening.

And, beyond those distractions, I don’t think you’d like, or appreciate, my critique, so I’ll simply move along. See, it’s that I look at these things from an apparently rather unique _evolutionary-bottom-up-perspective_, that seems to offend rather than enlighten.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Personally I question the concept of an “Afterlife”

The term “Life” and “Deah” are well-defined and Death is the cessation of Life in any form, Prelife or Afterlife alike.

False labeling it pseudo-science won’t save your false worldview.

According to you there should be a “prelife” as well as an “afterlife” and essentially no “death”, no?

There goes the rest of science and the medical world.

Seems to me that it is you who needs to take the “generally accepted” dictionary definitions a little more seriously before you start dismissing the rest of the educated world in favor of your unfalsifiable hypothesis.

You have as yet to provide proof of your “flights of fancy”, and I am being generous.

Ah, I call it debating the merits of a questionable hypothesis.
