Still no proof that it exists, tho
I've had visits from people who have passed away, so I consider myself as having proof. But I know this won't convince you and you have the right to believe what you want. It's just that it really isn't straightforward. For the longest of times, people didn't know what that bacteria existed, yet they existed. Just because there's no proof that meets your standards doesn't mean there is no afterlife.
Not everything we don’t know today is something that actually exists. Some things are just ideas, not discoveries that arrived late.
This comparison you made is not relevant to this topic. Science didn't create bacteria from scratch. For the same reason I can say that the Sasquatch is real or that I saw a flying dragon. That's not science, it's just imagination.
And it's not "my standard" btw. Science and the scientific process is recognised all over the world while your opinion is just that, an opinion.
