Says the fellow communicating his thoughts to people around the world via his idiot-made device. We know why stars exist. We know their life-cycle. If you choose to reject human knowledge which is proven to work so well that we are quite literally living in the best moment of human history because of it, you do so arbitrarily.
Souls and afterlives and these sorts of things do not have a scientific basis so far. What you wish to believe about them is your own prerogative. However, to indict human understanding of the natural world because it cannot explain something that is for all intents supernatural is a bit silly. Take solace in whatever belief about the soul you wish, but also realize that when it comes to understanding the behaviour of the real world, scientific inquiry wins every time.
