We ask this question so many times, because there is no definitive answer that science can currently prove.
It comes down to our own faith, conviction and experience. I believe, theoretically speaking, that we exist in spirit in another dimension after bodily death. However, I still seek all the time to read more, listen to more people's experiences, to cement that belief in my psyche (only today I have received a copy of Dr Eben Alexander's "Proof of Heaven" which I have been meaning to read for a while, as a timely example).
There are many reasons I believe; a lot come down to family experiences of NDEs, spirit presence and being present at the moment of relatives' death. I will give you one or two examples - my grandmother saw her husband on numerous occasions sitting in his favourite chair in her house in the months before she passed; days before he passed, while very ill in hospital, my uncle said he had seen his mum (my grandmother who by then had passed) and she had told him not to worry and that everything would be sorted by Tuesday...he passed the following Tuesday; my aunt was present at her mother's passing whose final words were "I'm coming, Mother!" with the rapturous look of a little girl on her face. I do believe our loved ones come to collect us.
My own experiences of lucid dreams have also assured me there is another dimension that our souls inhabit. I have met up with passed relatives on this other plane; I have had OOBEs where I have looked down at my sleeping body and flown out of the bedroom window. These experiences are vivid and lucid in a way that normal dreams are not. It is hard to explain.
Why do we not need to eat, etc, in that place? It is only our body, our vehicle, which needs to eat to continue to function. It's part of our biology that we need fuel in order to keep going. Our souls need no such thing. Our souls are of a different dimension, not of the earthly dimension.
In terms of angels, though that is rather a separate topic, I have 100% certainty that angels exist, because I have seen them, I have spoken with them, I have experienced them at many times in many ways and had confirmation from other people who have seen the same angel that what I have seen is truth - I'm sure, in time, I will share many of those experiences here. Angels exist. They are of a different dimension, once again, and vibrate at a different frequency, hence they cannot be easily seen as a general rule by human eyes.
There are, after all, many things in life we cannot see, but we know are real because we perceive them in some other way. Feelings, emotions, air, gases, vibrations, energy. Many of these have had their existence proven by science...but who knows what science will be able to prove in years to come?
