There will never be proof nor evidence, as we currently understand those concepts, for the presence or non-presence of another level of existence. That's why arguments about it are fruitless.

And whether it is or isn't doesn't really matter in the long run. As long as you use your belief or lack of belief to promote good and not evil.
