The idea of an afterlife does not come from nature. We, humans, are the sole proprietors of that ideology.
It is not like knowing the end of a movie without seeing the movie. It's actually funny that you used that as an example, because that's a perfect example of why you CAN make an assumption about death.
If you DID know about the ACTUAL Titanic, you could ASSUME that in the movie at the end, the ship sinks!
When something dies, it dies! We have absolutely no reason to believe anything else happens.
Anything about the afterlife has originated from humans. We are very imaginative creatures, and that's amazing, but it doesn't mean you live forever or get to understand the universe.
Alright, now I have to go Google whether other animals have imaginations or not.
how do you know that for sure though? how do you 100% for sure it was created by humans? you dont
but nobody knows the ending until they watch it
sure, be closeminded about it if you want. but what if there is a afterlife?
who says we cant live forever or know about the universe? you have a little mind. kinda like those people who were closeminded about airplanes existing back in the day lol
you seem like one of those people
dont be so closeminded on stuff
You shouldn't be seeing my way of thinking as close-minded... I am 100% open to the idea of an afterlife, so long as there is evidence to support it.
Science is about admitting what you do NOT know, but not what you CAN'T know. We have the potential to understand the universe and the human mind, but we DON'T know anything at all about it yet.
To say I should be open to the idea simply because I don't know where it originated is absurd. I'm not open to the idea because I have to be convinced to be open to it. Nothing worth believing requires you to be convinced it's true.
There's just nothing else like the belief of an afterlife. Gravity, thermodynamics, climate... even STARS follows a series of logical conclusions tested by science. You can not test the theory of an afterlife without inventing reanimation. There's also no reason to test the theory, as it's B A S E L E S S
Many animals mourn their dead whilst elephants appear to have rudimentary funerary rites.
I'm not saying elephants have some sort of religion, but remember, we are animals too. If we have imaginations, then "animals" can have imaginations. There is literally no reason to believe that other animals cannot develop the mental capacity to think abstractly like humans have evolved to. Only if you believe humans are somehow "separate" from animals (a very religious perspective, which is insidious, even if it is only because it is subconscious) would you think humans are capable of ideas, as if separated by some sort of divine Providence.
IIN when you die all will be revealed

I genuinely want to know why you think that.

well at least you admit its a theory
Many animals mourn their dead whilst elephants appear to have rudimentary funerary rites.
I'm not saying elephants have some sort of religion, but remember, we are animals too. If we have imaginations, then "animals" can have imaginations. There is literally no reason to believe that other animals cannot develop the mental capacity to think abstractly like humans have evolved to.
