How about parallel universes, string theory, and bubble theory? Where does physics stop and metaphysics begin for you?
As far as living/dying, all who live will face a physical death we all accept this, but do you fear death?
I digress, this discussion is about faith, or lack there of. Here it is, take it, leave it, or scoff at it.
1Co 2:12-16
What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
A mind set on worldly things can only comprehend things of this world, a worldly mind can not comprehend spiritual things. Therefore all you can do is ridicule, and scoff what you can't understand, while belittling and berating those who do understand spiritual matters.
