Dear gleuschk-ga,

There are competing answers to this question.

Those who hold to the world view of atheism believe that, at death,
one ceases to exist. There is no afterlife or eternal soul that
continues to exist. All there is to look forward to is our inevitable
death. Scientists tell us that the universe is expanding, growing
farther and farther apart. As it does, its energy is being used up,
and eventually the stars will burn out and all matter will collapse
into dead stars and black holes. It is in the face of this future that
the atheist must seek to find meaning and purpose for his own
existence in this vast universe.

According to the bible there is not life after death: "Man’s fate is
like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies,
so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over
the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all
come from dust, and to dust all return” (Eccl. 3:19-20)".

On the other hand, For the past thirty years, thousands of people have
reported experiencing what are called near death experiences (NDEs).
NDEs are encounters where a person, being in full awareness, leaves
the body and enters another world. Such experiences have resulted in
life transformation in many individuals.

Scientists and doctors from various world views have sought to explain
this phenomenon. Those from an atheistic world view have sought to
give naturalistic explanations. Their explanations range from
hallucination induced by medication, chemical reactions the brain
experiences in near death crises, previous encounters long forgotten,
and others. These fall short of explaining NDE events.

Nobody can explain if there is funk afer death, because it´s not
possible to test it. But I hope it can help you to have you own
conclusion.

You can go to a lot of interesting websites about that at (

A thoughtful answer, but really this is a question which can only be
answered with another question:

Is 7 up?

Alternatively, you could argue that we're all headed for a Disco
Inferno...
