Says Stephen Hawking. Guardian said: A belief that heaven or an afterlife awaits us is a "fairy story" for people afraid of death, Stephen Hawking has said.
In a dismissal that underlines his firm rejection of religious comforts, Britain's most eminent scientist said there was nothing beyond the moment when the brain flickers for the final time. Full article here.

I want someone to argue with him. Just so he can win with reasoned and logical arguments.

If you can't fathom the notion of nothing after death try and think of the time before you were born. You don't remember it, you don't feel anything and there is just no existence. That's what awaits after the last electrical impulse has fizzled out. Life after death or any other immortality would be an infinite curse! Just be good in the short time you have and enjoy it.

The prospect of immortality scares me a lot more than the likelihood of death being final and, as has been said, it would just be the same as before you were born anyway.

Hawking's right.
At least that's what the pixies at the bottom of my garden said.
