Second Argument
People can exist apart from their bodies after they die, and the evidence is conclusive. First, there are numerous reports of people who have spoken to people after they die. Some of them have provided information that they could not have known except from the dead person, which implies that they can’t all be lying. If they can’t all be lying, then at least some of them are telling the truth. Of course, if people have spoken to people who are dead, then it must be possible for them to exist. Next, people throughout time have reported seeing and hearing apparitions who look like their loved ones who had died. This fact is sufficient to show that some people have existed after they died. Finally, people who have been near death have reported seeing things in remote places. They could only have seen these things if their spirits had separated from their bodies. If this can occur before a person dies, then that proves that it can happen to people after they die. |
