"How do we know that such afterlife exists? I know, it can't be proved, but so is the most quantum mechanical events, which cannot be directly observed, but the existence of such event can be demonstrated through other processes. So, it's not necessary that we have to prove the existence of afterlife, but may be able to find indirect validation of it." JR
I think the analogy with quantum mechanics is not right. At least, quantum mechanics has some mathematical reasoning while the existence of afterlife is simply beyond any reasoning whether it is mathematical or other kind of acceptable reasoning. People have tried and failed miserably to convince scientific community. Our souls are basically product of materia. With the death of our brain cells, it ceases to exist beyond the brain. If we assume it exists beyond our brain, it has to be transformed to another form? Does it have a material basis? If it is not materia (even weightless particles) based product beyond our brain, why would it require a good afterlife? How would it sense/differentiate from a good feeling from bad one? And for whom? A bunch of particles tethered to some core particle?
On another issue, I am not sure whether seeing color is so important for a blind and non-blind person. Do color exist in the real world? Not, when you ask a physicist. A very similar argument was raised during the famous Tagore and Einstein conversation about the existence of beauty. The damn beauty does exist either. It is only a perceived feeling for us, mortals.
"Colors exist in very much the same way that art and love exist. They can be perceived, and other people will generally understand you if you talk about them, but they don't really exist in an "out in the world" kind of way. Although you can make up objective definitions that make things like "green", "art", and "love" more real, the definitions are pretty ad-hoc. "
