“Because if they were dead, they would not have come back.”
That is actually a point i have been making
The bigger issue is the utterly pseudoscientific nature of the claims.
Did you even read this article?
Yes. I read this articles and many others like it.
I am not accepting this all on its face. I tend to agree that it seems more like a system shut down process than it does an afterlife.
I also agree there is no scientific proof other than observation.
Of course, most scientific breakthroughs in history came after observations.
I would just ask someone who disagrees with the religious aspect of it to give it some time before dismissing it out of hand. We can let the psyche community work this out and still retain our beliefs.
