I'm just curious because what if this is the only life and there's nothing after death?

The bible is the word of God and it tells us there is. Jesus died and was resurrected from the dead and he said where he goes we will go to. Where ever God and Jesus is is heaven and all those who have faith in Jesus will go there. I hope you put your trust and faith in Jesus so you too will live in heaven after death.
To be honest, there are two different issuea on your above post.
First is a question, inviting to a debate.
The question is at the border of philosophy with science.
Second part ... well, I am an agnostic. That put me on the "opposite" part with everybody, beliver or atheistic.
And I ask you: Why didn't you stop your second part right before the last sentence? You would have been gain many people's respect ... But so, you only have tried to patronize me as you know better and I your truth i the real truth ...
However, the only connection between the two subjects is that christianism deny reincarnation, despite that the very bigest magnificent fact and the whole point of belivers's mind-twisting is a ... reincarnation.
If there MUST be something after the death, that can only be another life.
Is a nature circle. One's death is other's birth, one's trash is another's food.
On the other hand, if after this life is nothing .. that's it. Until we reach that point we will not know. After will reach that point, there will be to late to change anything.
So, why bother for, instead trying to build a better life ? Why loose time trying to convince others of something you can not prove, instead of taking people and get to learn together to be kind, happy, tolerant and build nice memories ?
My 2 cents.
