Could you describe a line of evidence that would convince you there is no life after death?

* We'll ignore the fact that NDEs seem to be colored by culture and upbringing.
Sometimes when I'm sick with a fever I get weird disturbances in my body image. My hands or tongue will start to feel as is they are getting bigger and bigger. I can remember having these experiences when I was a young child and the same experiences have occured numerous times since. Am I supposed to conclude that my hands or tongue really are getting ten times larger?
