I don't believe either way, because I honestly don't know. I haven't been convinced beyond a reasonable doubt either way.
I'm just amazed when people can firmly say yes there is an after life, or no there isn't. How can anyone be 100% sure??

Not trying to be flip, but honestly the only way is Faith in something other than that which can be seen.
Christianity,
for example, exists ONLY if Christ was raised from the dead. Paul himself made the point that Saden often makes, which is, that if Christ was merely a man, and the resurrection a hoax, then Christians are indeed the most pitiful of men. This is the very thing Saden often argues, interesting that the Bible agrees with him. Of course, the next part is that Christ did indeed raise up, and witnesses attested to that fact. Now at this point in history, Every person is given the self awareness to hear this argument and make the choice to believe through faith or not.
Every belief in an afterlife hinges primarily on the faith of something unseen, and by definition untestable (except in FRINGE) and unverifiable to the modern man.
