Is There life after death?

Is there life after death—something more to the reality that we see before us—or do we just die and end up in a black void of nothingness?

Logically speaking, I believe that there is something. While there isn’t 100% tangible proof—like the keyboard I’m tapping as I write this, alerting me to the fact that it physically exists—I think if we look at it logically, there has to be something more to life. Just like gravity: we cannot see it, but we know through observation and experimental evidence that it’s a real force. The same reasoning can be applied to life after death. Can we physically see it? No. But it seems more reasonable than not to believe that there is something more. There are multiple signs and wonders that point toward the existence of an apparent afterlife.

For one, the universe is too orderly and shows strong elements of design—values that just so happen to be set at ideal levels to support life on Earth. Life that we live and enjoy. Things like Earth’s gravitational pull, the oxygen-to-nitrogen ratio in our atmosphere, and so on. There are over 26 major universal constants with precisely set values that allow us to survive.

To put it simply: imagine a dam filled to the brim with water—so full that all it would take is one tiny drop to burst it. A mere 0.05 millilitres (equivalent to 50 microliters), and in an instant, everything and everyone nearby would be gone but it remains perfectly at this level regardless of everything happening around it. That’s how perfectly balanced some of our universal constants are. If they were changed by even a fraction, the consequences would be catastrophic. And that’s before we even begin to look into our complex genetic nature—a nature that carries millions upon millions of lines of genetic code. That If laid out, wouldn’t be some random gibberish like “gjqxgsjfgtee,” but rather it would spell out a glorious message of who we are: you are awesome. If you delve deeper into the study of universal constants or our genetic makeup, it becomes clearer that a great designer—God—must exist. Someone, or something, must be sustaining all of it. And then if we were to bring sound reasoning and logic into it, we can clearly see: there has to be something more.

Below is a parable to give an example

Life after birth and mother (Parable)

Imagine a pregnant woman—she is carrying two babies. Both babies are sitting in the womb.

Baby 1 turns to the other and says, “Do you believe in life after delivery?

”Baby 2 replies, “Definitely. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what will come later.”

“Nonsense! There’s no life after delivery,” says Baby 1. “What kind of life would that be?”

“I don’t know,” says Baby 2, “but there’ll be more light than here. Maybe we’ll walk with our legs and eat with our mouths. Maybe we’ll have other senses that we can’t even understand right now.”

“That’s ridiculous,” Baby 1 screams. “Walking is impossible, and eating with our mouths? That’s absurd. The umbilical cord is what scientifically supplies nutrition and all that we need.

”Baby 2 says, “There has to be something more. Maybe we won’t need the physical cord anymore.”

“Okay, if there is life after delivery, then tell me—why has nobody ever come back from there?” says Baby 1. “Delivery is the end of life, and after delivery is nothing but darkness, silence—total oblivion. It takes us nowhere.

”Baby 2 replies, “But certainly there is more. We’ll meet Mother, and she’ll love us.

”Baby 1 laughs. “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? If Mother exists, then where is she now?”

Baby 2 says, “She’s all around us. We are from her. It is in her that we live. Without her sustaining us, how could we currently survive? We exist because of her.

”Baby 1 replies, “I don’t see her, so it’s only logical that she’s not here.

”To which Baby 2 responds, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you really listen, you can perceive her presence. You can hear her loving voice calling down from above. If we pay attention, we can see ourselves grow—destined for something greater.”

“Nonsense,” grunts Baby 1. “We only know what we see.”

Just like the example above, it seems more reasonable than not that there is something after this life—something greater. Even though we might not be able to comprehend what is beyond our physical eyes, just like the babies being sustained by their mother, so are we being sustained by God—a God who seeks to have a personal relationship with us, should we choose to accept it.

so the question is will you accept?
