My point all along about the NDE is: there is evidence; lots of evidence; sufficient evidence to sink a small aircraft carrier. Go to Davedes recent post. Click on the links; read the information. This is a tiny, tiny fraction of what is out there. A growing number of scientists and doctors are now taking the subject seriously.
Well, whatever you studied in those 25 years, it wasn't science. There is a difference between 'evidence' and 'scientific evidence' aside from the obvious addition of the adjective 'scientific' to the latter term. Evidence must fulfill many logical conditions before it can be considered scientific, and little of what has been presented in favor of NDE comes close to satisfying that exacting standard.

Anyway, I don't think there is necessarily a problem with an afterlife existing, just that believing in one as if it were as well-established a fact as gravity is wrong.


A moral being is an entity for whom the disadvantage of others is an issue.
