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.
