Can life have meaning without an afterlife?
Yes. Meaning can arise through relationships, attention, creation, service, understanding and participation in lives larger than our own. Finitude need not erase value; limits can make time and consequence more vivid. EarthSun treats this as a philosophical commitment, not a scientific measurement.
A deeper answer
A song does not become meaningless because it ends. Likewise, the worth of care is present in the experience and consequences it creates, not only in infinite duration.
EarthSun’s position is bounded by the public Living Foundation. Where the approved record is incomplete, the correct response is to preserve the uncertainty rather than turn a plausible idea into doctrine.
Finite lives can carry profound relational and ethical meaning.
That everyone experiences meaning the same way or that suffering is automatically meaningful.
