Yes. I would have liked to have been able to expand on that, but it can get a bit involved and I didn't want to monopolize the discussion. My reasoning is based purely on logic that given the available evidence, is sufficient to justify my statement. The reasoning involves a more in-depth look at what we mean by life, identity, personality, death, and consciousness. Without delving into it at this moment, I do recall saying something to the effect that I do believe strange experiences and perceptions happen, but there is a problem with how we interpret them. In the case of life after death, belief is based on a leap in logic that upon closer inspection simply cannot be the case.

I would however also be interested in what your reasoning is and hope you decide to share.
