How can we be certain that there is any form of existence after death? [Spirituality & Religion]

Try as I may to keep my mind open to core spiritual ideas, I can't help but think most of the time that nothing happens after we die.

I would like for there to be some sort of nice afterlife, but I cannot shake the feeling or rather understanding that we are just animals who will decay and return to dust.

According to an experiment people lose the exact same amount of mass when they die, always a small amount but always exactly the same. So it makes you wonder if you do have a soul and if it has mass.

As our mass is renewed every six years then we know the soul does not actually take up mass. Think of a compact disc before and after a program is put on it. It does not change mass but what a difference@Ryannnnnn

@Speedyman Interesting as that is, that however doesn't explain the loss of mass in the exact quantity at time of death though. I'll have to find the source for that.
