And explaining what happens when you die. Which by its very definition nobody alive can know

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Of course we can. We have means to observe the dying process. There is already a lot of scientific knowledge on that topic.

From the outside, yes. We don't have anything information about the post-death experience.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because there is no "experience" after death. You just start to rot.

And what scientific evidence has there ever been suggesting that this is the case? We can't even scientifically evaluate whether another living being has any conscious experience.
