Way to much scientific philosopy going on here. Science is based on set logic, and everything we learn from that is limited by rules, that we made up by watching physical examples at work. I believe in a higher power, and in that life after our physical departure from our existence here. And I can't really explain why, and that's good enough for me. It's fro you to figure out yourself. But keep in mind, all the things that we have today computers, music, electricity, paper? How were we able to come up with these sort of things... If I look at a microchip, or a circuit board, or a CD, I always wonder how someone came up with these I deas and got them to work... Now think about it, and there's is no real explanation. My only way to explain these things is a higher power gave the people who came up with these ideas some sort of inspiration, a base onto which these things we take for granted today can be a reality. When you think about death, really think about it, I don't know if it's just me, but my mind goes completely blank, cause it IS an unknown, and our lives lead up to an eventual end. Everyones life is an adventure, it's your own choice on how to navigate it. If you want to live your life thinking there isn't anything, then go ahead, but that is an ignorant way to live a life. The fact that there is a higher power at work should be enough, but to some of us it isn't. But we all have the freedom to choose as we will, freewill... Believe what you want, an answer to your question.
