Thoughts and feelings similar to fear of death arise from narcissistic
desire for immortality that evolved in the genetic evolution of the
human species. What makes us humans who fear death?
Humans share about 98% DNA with other primates according to the recent
study/findings of the scientific method of investigation. The other 2%
{a well -developed cortex} makes all the difference between humans and
the apes. A well-developed brain in humans have the potentiality to
reason, to use technological advancement and a language/scientific
method to investigate beliefs of reality, thoughts and memes.
Science is neither a belief nor unbelief. It is a practice of
awareness/objectivity using reason/logic in combination of advancing
technology to test theories about nature including us. Some humans fear
death and some don't depending on how the brain processes behave in
spacetime of micro and macro levels of interactions.
Some believers continue to suffer due to fear of pain of aging and
death.
