I suspect not as we have no real evidence to support the idea. Though you can argue that your children and other long lasting products of your life are a sort of life after death as people will remember you for them.

This is a hard question to answer from the point of view of being first a scientist and second a christian (but not actively practicing). Scientifically, I don’t think there is any evidence to suggest that there is an afterlife. From a religious standpoint, I think pretty much every religion believes in some sort of an afterlife, be that heaven (or hell), paradise or some form of reincarnation. I think what it ultimately comes down to is what you believe yourself.
I want to believe there is something more after we die, but in a way I think there is, because after we die, we’re always remembered. You will always have the memories of people you know who’ve passed away, so in a way, they’re still living on.

As a scientist I should say no. Once we die so does are subconscious, or what makes us us, so how can be live after death. There has been reported cases of people who have been recipient of organ transplants, experiencing thoughts, feeling etc similar to that or their donor…How do you explain that? Science can’t. A story I will never forgot was told from my best friend. Her brother, very much an atheist (does not believe in God) got struck my lightening. He was technically dead for 1.5minutes. After, recovering in hospital, my friend went to see her brother. She asked him what it was like, what happened? She told me that he would never lie. He looked at her, smiled and said…”just you wait”

Difficult question and not a very scientific answer but I personally think not. I have no real reason to justify that though.
