The reader asked:
Dear Doctor Lim
I have read a lot of your highly
interesting and very enlightening articles. I am one of your tens of thousands
of fans and followers of your blog.
May I ask you if you truly believe
there is life after death?
I hope you can enlighten us as a
doctor, a medical researcher and a scientist in a logical way.
…………………………………………………….
My answer:
I have already written an article
on this question that troubles a lot of people here:
“Does Life Exist After Death”.
It was published on Friday,
August 5, 2022. You may have missed it.

First of all, the problem with
scientists is that they only believe and can understand what they can see,
touch, feel, measure directly or indirectly. Scientists like us live in this
physical world and they can only believe if they can see, measure, understand
mentally and physically, and not beyond, especially entities like spirits, souls,
ghosts or other unknown life elsewhere. We are so earth-bound like a frog
living in a water well and having a vision inside a well.
All that we can understand has to
be material and physical, and not something beyond such as a spiritual entity
that would be outside our understanding because we cannot see, detect or
measure with our physical instruments even if indirectly. If we are unable to
see, detect or measure them even through theoretical mathematical models such
as the Standard Model as in particle physics our mind-set is, they do not
exist, or do they?
A very simple example for instance
is, we all know that gravity and electromagnetic waves exist although we may
not see them but we as scientists, can detect their presence and even measure
their strength by their interactions with other particles and matter.
Ironically, scientists know life
exists, and we can clearly see them although we cannot measure them let alone
their health and strengths. We can only use “MRS GREN” an acronym to
define the characteristics of life to mean “Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity,
Growth, Reproduction, Excretion and Nutrition”. But scientists are unable to
tell us exactly what this entity “life” that can never be measured by any
scientific instrument except by observing their characteristics. I have
explained these many times here in my blog articles.
This is the same as trying to
measure health or the nutritional status of an individual directly. See here
how nutritional and health status are measured.

We do not even know using our
scientific knowledge if life as we know it here exists in another world, let
alone if life here in this world can be transferred to another world when we
die a physical death, although I may be a rare exception to believe as a former
research scientist.
The question is, life in the
form as we know them here, or in other forms that exist in other worlds, has
insulted the best of our scientific minds for over the last one century.
On the other hand, ancient
civilizations over 10,000 years ago till the present, believe through their
religions that a soul exist, and this has occupied the minds of all religions,
especially in the event of a death of their loved ones with epitome such as:”
May his Soul rest in Peace” (R.I.P.)
Here’s one article what scientists
think:

But here are some of my own
thoughts:
Mysteries of Life:
An unmeasurable Vital Force
Scientific
Logic: Search results for mystery off life
Life in the Universe: By
Intelligent Design or by Accident

In Search of Extraterrestrial
Civilization: Flaws in Frank Drake Equation
Scientific
Logic: In Search of Extraterrestrial Civilization: Flaws in Frank Drake

Can Silicon-Based Life Exist in
Another World?
Scientific
Logic: Search results for silicon based life
Another problem with scientists and
the rest of the world is, we expect everything in other worlds, estimated at
100 trillion, trillion (1 followed by 26 zeros) has to be earth-based similar
to ours. See here the numbers of other worlds here:
Stars in heaven vs sands on earth

Logic: Search results for sands on earth

Human Soul Travel Faster than the Speed of Light?

The rest I leave you to decide.
Thank you very much for your
question.
