I have to ask..... how can you know something for sure without solid evidence?

I don't mean to question your beliefs in a negative way, I am honestly curious. The answers I get to that question are new perspectives for my own mind.

That is something that I have always had an issue with. I don't know for certain what comes next, and saying that doesn't bother me. It's good to have questions that still need answers. It gives us something to work towards.

All the evidence I have says that I will just cease to exist. That doesn't scare me. I didn't exist for billions of years, so ceasing to exist eventually holds no fear. I loose nothing by living my mortal life to the fullest.

If it turns out I'm wrong..... awesome. Then I'm on to the next adventure. If I'm not.... I will leave this existence with few, if any, regrets. Worst case, one day I will simply go to sleep. That thought holds no terror for me.

With that said.... I fully believe that we will eventually beat death on our own terms, one way or another. My hope is that we will someday build our own afterlife to order. We will use technology to fundamentally change what it means to be alive and control our own path into the future.
