A Thought Without Context

[thray]

People have many ideas about an afterlife. Some, namely the religious, believe in a good afterlife and maybe a bad afterlife as well. Some, like a very anti-religion friend of mine, believe there is nothing (and that, in a way, is a sort of afterlife as well is it not?) I wouldn't shut the door on the possibility so fast, no matter your beliefs... Has science disproved such a thing? Has science ever truly proven ANYTHING? In all things, even within our own creations, there are.. anomalies. Things unaccounted for. Science, in the end, is just a slightly more modern way of answering questions man may never be able to answer correctly.
What if there is no afterlife? What if death is the end for our perceptions, and none like us ever rise again?
Maybe worse yet... what if there IS?
