OK, I 'm not gonna say anything
about anyone having a closed mind or anything.
What experiments have been done on death so far, using people who actually died during the experiment or almost died?
Aperson, you said "I believe in scientific reincarnation, so to me there is nothing spiritual about dying. It is just the passing from one state into another."
Please explain: in what sense would that NOT be a spiritual event? How and--perhaps more importantly--why do you distinguish between "spiritual" and "scientific"?
To me--and this might be trivial--all knowledge is "scientific" (not to be equated narrowly with the "scientific method"), and all experience is (ultimately) "spiritual."
Well dying is not a special event, in that you go to heaven or hell or get reincarnated etc.
And seriously guys, you really think the soul has a weight?[/i][/u]
On second thought, I DO see advantages in identifying "science" narrowly in terms of method. The broader approach is perhaps "philosophy".
