If we ever achieved the ability to prove that our minds were capable of such feats, wouldn't such a spectacular ability of the mind make us gods? Quantum science has shown that perception alters reality, after all.

The usual arguments came up about ants, dogs, cats etc and they are the sort of thing that troubles me as well. If there is an afterlife, then its actually a natural process isn't it; we should have harder evidence.

What is hard evidence? How do we know that photographs, videos, sound clips, and the experience of a scientist we have never met is real?
There is so much to be skeptical about, and I am highly skeptical myself. There are many things that say that spiritual things do not exist, yet there are many other things that say that they do. You just have to keep searching... and I guess we find out in the end. The universe gets the last laugh.
