By “entirely on belief” do you actually mean “entirely on faith,” that is, belief without evidence? Because otherwise your statement is nonsensical — people can and do make claims without knowing something, otherwise science wouldn’t exist. The key is that when a person makes a claim, that claim needs to be supported by evidence. The grandparent post is pointing to the mountains of evidence that we have regarding the brain, and making a claim regarding death causing a ceasing of consciousness. If you want to claim that consciousness continues after death, you’d better bring some evidence along with that claim.
