The meaning of life - There is no meaning of life. You get old then you die
Religion (whether you have one or not) - No religion
Afterlife - Nope..nothing. Just lights out
An Ether/Alternate dimension or universe - I like the idea of this. I remember when I was stoned once discussing the idea of loads of alternate dimensions..everytime we make a decision, a new version of your life appears elsewhere..following that path if that makes sense. So somewhere, there are million of versions of you in different scenarios. Its so unlikely though that its just a nice/interesting thought.
Your opinions on whether we have the ability to communicate with the dead - Nope. As I believe dead is dead, no afterlife or anything.
Evolution - Obviously happened/is happening
Fate & Destiny - Nope
Soul Mates - Again, nope.
Bringing back extinct animals - I dont think we should mess with stuff like that, even if we could. That said I dont think we should be messing around with cloning and such either. And definitely not AI. I think thats likely to cause the end of our species actually. Kind of like the matrix
