My points were following on from the points made in that movie.
I really cant work this question out, despite having read it over and over : " Is it correct to assume the point you want to make, is that we cannot empirically show that we will not "wake up" from this life when we die 'in' it, and after we wake up, we will experience the next 'level'?" ...[text shortened]... ut what that has to do with the rest of my post 😕
Sorry, I'm getting a bit confused
