Why should evidence of 'life herafter', be evidence of god?

'Seek and you will find' takes on a whole new meaning in the information age. Anybody who can 'write off' such an overwhealming abundance of anecdotal evidence as delusional of false, in their stage of reality, simply do not want to know.Particularly when they rely on information overwritten countless times, from age to age, language to language,interpretation to interpretation I wonder how many religionists compared with atheists/agnostics fit into this catagory? On the surface, one would likely say the religionists would be minimal,but my suggestion is that there are many images 'held dear' to followers, and like all images,people are reluctant to let go of them. For instance, if your view is, "with Jesus, heaven, without, hell", then you would not want to hear of the many thousands of non believers (and thats only in the west), who have experienced cellestial bliss/ light and the full package after being declared clinically dead, and have been revived after a number of minutes in this state (different technically from a nde). No surprise to me, because some of the most inspirational 'givers' to life (spiritual not religious) fall on both sides of the believers line. So what happens after such transformations to a different diimension? Many believe there are only two stages, here or there.Why would that not keep progressing.? There are supposed to be 'many mansions' after all? My main point being, why should it take the promise or expectation of different states of existence to 'prove god of the religions', when this is already remarkable state.Science only exposes what already exists. Many get caught out with the term 'eternal', as in 'eternal life'. Eternity has no relation whatever to 'time', no more than numbers are related to infinity.The closest one can get in relative terms, is 'here and now'. As a footnote,even scientific knowledge is by definition, anecdotal to the layman. BOfL[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
