And this "testimony" of Eloi Cole, "a strangely dressed young man" who time travels in his spare time, has relevance to our discussion of NDEs — HOW???

Especially when Eloi's "testimony" has nothing to do with the problems engaged by the testimonies of such as John of the Cross, or Theresa of Avila?

You are screening out evidence here — Eloi's, John's, and Theresa's alike. There are no distinctions to be made; according to your simplistic rule: If I don't understand it, then flush it down the rathole of oblivion. Thenceforth, the problem does not exist for me. Whatta relief!!!

Here's a question, spunkets. I ask it, not to aggravate you, but merely because I'm curious. If you're not doing this for personal jollies, why on earth are you doing it?

It's testimony. Are you saying that you only accept some testimony, where the particulars support some preferred claim? This guy Cole risked all out death, not just near death!

I don't see a free unlimited supply of Kit-Kats as being problematic. Nevertheless, I see the creativness of a wandering inventive mind.

Yep. The "evidence" is testimony htat conflicts with reality.

"If you're not doing this for personal jollies, why on earth are you doing it?"

Jollies-yeah that's it! Anyone that challenges the value of testimonials as valid evidence is after jollies? Standing up for truth and putting pure testimony about other worlds, that conflicts with reality, in it's proper place as fiction is important.
