Is There Life After Death

By Leslie Ball


Many would ask where they would go if they would die. This question has been an unanswered one for many years simply because one does not know where the road would lead next until one has actually died. Now in order to answer the question about is there life after death or not, people have made many theories that would involve both science and religion as well as superstition.

Now the most common of the beliefs would be of course Heaven and Hell wherein if one is good while he is alive, he will go to Heaven and if he was bad, he will go to Hell. Now in almost all religions, there is a Heaven and a Hell with a God ruling the Heavens and an evil being ruling Hell. Of course this is the main belief in the religion Christianity.

Of course there is also the very famous belief that if one would die, he would become a ghost. Of course one is probably familiar with all the ghost stories of people that have died and have come back to visit the living. This theory would state that ghosts are apparitions that have not gone to the afterlife.

Of course there would also be the very well known reincarnation theory which uses karma as a basis. For those who do not know, those who would get a lot of good karma will be reincarnated as a higher class human. Those who would get a lot of bad karma would usually be reincarnated as a bug or an animal.

Science also has their own take on the big afterlife debate with the quantum physics theories. The theory of the infinite universes would state that a person does not actually die and that he is actually made out of atoms that would be split into many different parts of the world. So actually, since his atoms would split into other parts of the world, he will live on in those objects as his consciousness still exists there.

In the list would also be the theory of parallel universes that was theorized by quantum physics. According to this theory, when one dies, his energy would be transmitted to another world that is parallel to this one and he will be reborn in that next universe. It is quite like reincarnation but it is backed up by scientific theories of quantum physics.

One of the more interesting theories would of course be biocentrism which states that the consciousness is what dictates how the world is like. Basically, it states that in the consciousness of the human mind, there is no such thing as space and time. So with this, he also claims that since there are multiverses, when a person dies, his consciousness would go to the multiverse and be reborn there in another universe.

Now those are only some of the theories of the afterlife. Even though so many theories exist in the world, no one will really know which one is real. One will only know once he dies and sees for himself.
