Hello Michiel,

To me, answering such a question is like chasing rainbows.
What is the purpose? What purpose does it serve? If one has
plenty of time and nothing else to do, then perhaps it can
make sense. But only to that individual.

The man who posed the question, and is offering a reward,
lost his son due to suicide. This was decades ago. Since then,
he has been obsessed with this subject. He believes human
consciousness continues, but wants scientific evidence, or
proof that human consciousness (life) goes on.

When people asked Jesus about their friends coming back
due to reincarnation, he took them to the graveyard and noted
the bones of King David are still there.

That was about the closest anybody got to getting an answer.
