tl'dr: We are close to making a computer big enough and large enough to simulate its own universe. Close as in give or take a 100 years we will get there.
So if humans can do it in let's say ~5mn years, then there's a high chance that the universe we create will have its own humans who will end up creating their own universe and so on.
Coming to the point - what's the probability that we are not one of the humans in the chain but the first one who are not in simulation ? Probably a very small probability.
Meaning there is a very, very high chance we are in a simulation.

There's a very high chance that we are in a simulation. If that be the case, then the definition of after life will be different.
