If you r a retard you believe in after life.
If you r smart and have a brain you are unsure but most logical is precisely nothing...As (*gasp*), shocking as it seems, you are not an eternal being. You have a beginning and an end. When you die you are gone forever...Forgotten forever. Disappear, forever. BYE BYE.

Such a cynical and close-minded viewpoint.
Its an even 50-50 chance that there is an after-life.

If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..

Gee, Confucian, thanks for schooling me on that crucial point in so erudite a manner. Clearly, you do not have ANY idea about the basic premise of this discussion - the Reality that pre-exists matter and its self-conscious biological existence as a human being. I must be a "retard" if I understand Being to be my essential existence? Retard is just an adolescent insult, an obsolete term, and an ad hominem here. Meanwhile, for the name-caller, the category' Being' completely escapes you. But don't feel TOO badly, it is not the scholarly province of Neil deGrasse Tyson either regardless of how competent he is in his own fields of study. This is a discussion on metaphysics, not physics. Metaphysics means before-physics, ontologically speaking, and 'ontos' is Greek for Being. It might ALL be Greek to you, but pay close attention and you might learn.
