I think you will find T that as before there are no final answers to be found to the death and afterlife questions via the thinking mind - that it really doesn't matter what 'proof' comes it can always be second guessed by the mind.

That you are setting yourself up for a lot of grief if you buy into that particular strategy.

I'm not arguing for or against any particular set of beliefs, but there's a middle view that's been around in one form or another for millennia, and is most certainly not a recent 'new age' phenomenon.

I think it's fair to say too that the clinging to logical positivism and 'scientific logic' found in some circles (which is actually only one very narrow way of seeing  things) is just as limiting as the over the top 'wannabee/wannasee' emotionalism found at the other polarity....
