      • After death you are judged, then go to heaven or hell.
      • Christian and Muslim belief.
      • You remember your life.
      • Evidence for: Revelation (Bible/Quran) and the resurrection of Jesus.
      • Evidence against: surviving death is not scientifically possible and holy books can't be trusted.
    • Reincarnation
      • Coming back to life in a different body.
      • After death your soul enters a new body, maybe human maybe animal (depending on the karma you built up)
      • Hindu/Sikh belief
      • You usually don't remember your past.
    • Rebirth
      • Coming back to life in a different body but as an ever changing character, not as a constant soul.
      • Buddhist belief
      • After death we are reborn into a different body. we do not have the same soul but there is an 'essence' of us that continues - similar to a candle - when you use one flame to light a new flame, it is a different flame but relies on the first to exist.
      • Evidence for: some people seem to remember very specific details of their past lives, revelation (Vedas- Hindu holy book)
