Skepticism
is a very important component of the scientific method which
investigators use to discover the truth or falsehood of a theory.
Without it, it is very likely that humanity would still be living in
caves. True
skepticism, as defined by the early Greeks, meant not accepting any
concept as being true or false until it is proven so by "natural law".
But, there are many so-called "skeptics," such as the so-called "Amazing
Magician Randi," who have already made up their minds that the
near-death experience is not an afterlife experience. But such
"skeptics" cannot really be considered to be true skeptics because they
have already accepted the afterlife theory to be false without a
single shred of evidence. Nevertheless, true skeptics have raised
some very intelligent and profound questions that need to be addressed
by near-death researchers and everyone interested in the truth. The
following are some of those questions and the answers by some of the top
researchers in the field. |
