But we all know absence of evidence is not proof of anything.
The burden of proof is upon someone asserting as much to demonstrate that this is true.
My point exactly. You asserted no one will be meeting up with Darwin (in the after life) so the burden of proof is on you.
Until then, it's not unreasonable to assume that human consciousnes ends when the object that produces it -- the human brain -- no longer functions.
And it is fallacious logic to claim the absence of life after death is a fact - it is merely your belief.
BTW: you position is impossible to prove because it is impossible to prove a negative.
