Alright, NDE of Pam Reynolds

Re: Can you believe in certain things without being religious?

Re: Can you believe in certain things without being religious?

Ok, since we don't let our presuppositions effect our judgment, then why is it most skeptics/scientists won't even consider research done in the paranormal, re-incarnation, or NDE's? We know nothing...

Re: Can you believe in certain things without being religious?

No your missing the point, research like this is to act as a wake up call, suggesting we may not know as much about as reality as we think. It isn't to disprove any scientific fact, it's to broaden...

Re: Can you believe in certain things without being religious?

Um the point you have made is completely irrelevant. You have not stated as into why this research is not scientific, or why it should be disregarded. Just because i haven't read a book, does NOT...

Re: L/C Help me. Lack of an afterlife leads me do depression.
