[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

"Evidence" is NOT "Proof." Evidence is a statement, writing, material object or other thing presented to the senses. Proof is the impact or "force" of the evidence on the mind. The stories do not really rise to proof. My favorite is the Indian bureaucrat sending the person back due to paperwork error. Is that what you mean by an afterlife? What about the persons who experience Blackness-nothing! I have personally met one of the latter people-nothing! I don't take that as "Proof" that there is no life after death.

To me it is only those who are living who relate their experiences. Those who remain dead do not tell us. There is a VAST difference between the two groups.

If never said it was proof. I just happen to believe in Heaven and Hell and there seems to be some emperical evidence that they are real. What is great is we will all know definitively some day.

[Secret Agent Man]

One man’s evidence is another man’s proof.

People were alive that saw Christ’s miracles, and were healed, and spoke with Him, and not even Jesus Christ in the flesh could convince people about how to avoid Hell and be saved.

It’s not a surprise people want to discard first hand testimony from a person who’s dead and comes back to life. Rationalization is the second greatest human drive.
