What do you think happens after death?

RE: What do you think happens after death?
I would prefer to believe, or I would rather say, presume, that these respectable scientists, whom we are taught to be almost always correct since childhood, are right on this point, that we are just become some mysterious chemicals after our death, maybe food of worms, insects, flies, or bacterias.
However, the theory isn't as firm as it seems to be, even though it's "proved" by centuries of researches and experiments -- there's no way can we ensure that what we see, hear, feel, or smell are true, and there could be an "invisible hand", some sort of godlike power, that craftily deceive us, all the time.
There even no definite proof that we are living in a real world, as described in the theory of Brain in a vat. Chances are, we are not real humans, but brains connected to a central computer, living in a world entirely simulated by a computer program designed by some super-intelligent creatures. Our world is just a toy of a kid in the species. And our glorious science improvements are just learning something about the program that simulates the cosmos, and our death is just... The kid come and presses the power button. Well, this all seem to skeptical and unbelievable, but it's just not possible to prove it's "impossible". :D
(Well, it just reminded me a story: A man asked a famed Japanese monk what will happen after one's death, and the monk replied: "Try it yourself".)
Overall, since it's a question that cannot be solved with human power, and thinking about it probably does not actually help one to get close to the right opinion, why thinking about it? :)
