• Supernatural / psychic evidence: Some claim that there is evidence for spiritual forces working beyond the body. This may imply the individual's ability to live beyond death. Such evidence includes telepathy, spiritualism and near death experiences. The latter have been subject to significant studies from neuropsychiatrists such as Peter Fenwick.

• Revelation / authority: Some regard life after death as a certainty based on religious texts, faith and teachings. Christians may see the authority of the New Testament as guaranteeing the resurrection of Jesus, for instance. Others may see a weight of historical evidence lying behind such accounts of afterlife.

• Rational / logical arguments: If we agree with the likes of Descartes ('I think therefore I am'), then we know that our internal thinking self constitutes what is 'really us', rather than our physical bodies. Thought is beyond our physical existence.
