That's going to be at the heart of all of this, and I was going to start another thread on that anyway.
Since I'm neither interested nor qualified to discuss the technical aspects of when dead is really dead, hence the NDE stuff and all that, I'm going to beg off that portion and stick with the main shot I put here. Fair?
No, not really. You said you didn't see compelling evidence that dead is dead. Now you're saying you aren't qualified to discuss it. So why make the statement in the first place? I explained concisely but I think fairly thoroughly what the evidence for 'dead is dead' is, and stated that the only reason to oppose it would be evidence for something else. So I asked you for what your reason for doubt was, and if it be based on evidence for something else, what is it?
I don't accept your decision to now evade the issue, since it was you that raised it in the first place.
