Is there any way to justify belief in an afterlife or reincarnation from a scientific perspective?
Are there any significant knowledge gaps that would leave room for it? I really want to believe in it, but all the arguments i can find are made by idiots who don't understand the second law of thermodynamics or the observer effect.

No. Some particles come together for a while, hang out and have some fun, then they break apart. That's it, that's your life and death.

If the universe is infinite then those particles can come back together to form your brain again some day, somehow. Maybe by accident maybe someone does it on purpose...

From cryonics, to being in a simulation, to the ekpyrotic theory of the universe turning out to be true, there are many ways to resurrect.

Did the guy that posts that pasta and book about near death experiences whenever someone mentions death anywhere on the site die? Where is he?
