I think what people tend to forget is that causality itself is more like an observation of influence.

Whenever two things collide, one thing bumps into the other and among other things it caused contact. As a result of an event something else happens.

Causality only provides a description for whatever happens within our frame of knowledge. If we don't know what made the two things actually get in the vicinity of each other or better yet what made the two things, that's simply where our understanding of causality ends. In a way it's simply artificial.

Is there really a deeper meaning or more advanced reason behind the possibility of two objects hitting each other? Except from their existence in the same space, I really don't think there is.



Actually, basically we do know. A corpse will start to rot and nature will take care of cleaning it up entirely... eventually. We even know that when our brains stop functioning we won't be able to think anymore, which should lead to the logical conclusion that the lights simply go out and that's it.

Of course, that's a scary thought for some,... for some reason, and hence their invention of an afterlife. This even makes sense, after all through evolution we, just like any other creature on this planet, were more or less 'programmed' to survive, giving in to the thoughts of death is unnatural.
