Contrary to this belief, contenders hold that there must be an afterlife.  Most find it difficult to accept that an existence must end after the physical body is gone.  Science may offer the thesis that thoughts and the soul are locked up in the physical realm.  However, it should be recalled that science has been proven wrong on multiple occasions, as proven in this street magic performance.  The truth of the matter remains that there is no definitive evidence that an afterlife does not exist.  Perhaps, the only reason more evidence may exist to the contrary of an afterlife, is the limitation of our physical realm.  An afterlife rooted in the metaphysical realm would be difficult to envision and nearly impossible to prove by physical beings.
