Problems with the concept of an afterlife

It seems that most religions throughout history have their own concepts of what comes after death. People might go to heaven, to hell, to Odin's hall and to a bunch of other different possible places. The belief is very firm but it's also a belief that has no scientific evidence to back it up.

Let's go into some logical problems with the concept of an afterlife.

First, there is the idea of spending wherever you are for eternity. Eternity is forever. No matter how good the place you are in is, spending there for the rest of the time of the existence of, well, existence, stagers the mind.

It seems that anyone would, eventually, get tired of being there, wherever there is. Whatever it is the person is doing there, doing that or doing other things would have to get boring if there was no end to your time there. Even if you choose to go exploring the universe, I'm sure that eventually even that would prove tiring.

Which ties into the topic of boredom. If you had, literally, forever to do whatever you wanted to do then there is no doubt that, eventually, you would run out of things you wanted to do.

Eternity just doesn't work out in the end.

Then there's the problem of evil people. People who have done terrible things. Are they isolated somewhere, away from the 'good' people? Are they subjected to some kind of brainwashing to get them to a mental state that they can live among the 'good' people? Are they punished in some way for what they have done?

But punishment without any chance of redemption doesn't seem very logical either.

This also involves the concept of God being all-knowing. This would mean that God would know who would live to be a good person, or a person of mixed traits or an evil person even before that person was born. It would mean your overall life would be set in stone even before you were born. This would mean that an evil person would never have a chance to change into a decent person and avoid major punishment.

Then another problem Think about how many people have died on the Earth since humans first evolved. Checking on the net that number seems to be around 109 billion people. This doesn't count those who are alive now or those who will be alive until the end of the human race.

Which sounds like wherever people end up would get crowded eventually. Either that or new areas would have to be opened to deal with the overflow.

Plus. It's believed that there could be many intelligent civilizations throughout the galaxy. When those beings die, do they go to the same afterlife or are there segregated areas for different species of beings?

There's yet another problem, this one just with humans alone. We are talking about humans throughout history that have died. These people, especially more ancient civilizations, did not use the same languages as are used now. Their entire culture was different in many ways than ours today. Further, is the afterlife only for present-day Homo sapiens? Did Neanderthals end up in the afterlife also? How about other species related to humans but even earlier than Neanderthals?

Then there's the whole thing of people from different times, different cultures, different knowledge and different expectations. For example how much of a meaningful conversation could you have if you met a person from the original Jamestown? Or from very early Britain?

How would these beings interact with present-day humans?It could be a very major cultural shock for many of the beings who end up in the same afterlife place unless, as noted above, there are segretated areas for different species.

Finally, what happens if your interests change? Would you then relocate to somewhere with people more in tune with your interests?
