Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

[brewer]

I must disagree, even though the subject is controversial, there is a tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence that these experiences are valid. Watching someone die many times you can get a sense when the spirit leaves the body, here again one can't prove it scientifically. 

When you study a few hundred of these cases and see the consistency in them it build a very strong argument, and especially with children. 

I'm probably a little like many hear, if you are going to tell me a story, you best be able to prove it or at least build a strong argument for your story. 

What frustrates many like myself, is those who are close minded. I grew up in the sixties, what was scientific facts in many disciplines have been discarded because we continue to learn.

There's also a tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence for the Loch Ness monster, and Bigfoot. Are you asking for us to believe in those also?

Second question, how many times have you seen a person die in your presence?
