@NorthernInvader I am not arrogant enough to think I know the truth and I've had as many decades as you to think about it. I used to think like you: the death of the body is the end, but there was a crack in my belief, and that crack was made by stories of reincarnation i.e. children who remembered families and events that occurred (and were verified) in previous lives. These cases still occur all over the world. Can you explain it? I can't. Lots of material online. e.g. https://www.vice.com/en/article/hard-science-of-reincarnation-past-lives/
