Skepticism is a critical component to scientific inquiry and for discovering
truth. Without it, it is clear humanity would still be living in caves.
True skepticism, as defined by the early Greeks, meant not accepting any
concept as being true or false unless proven true or false by natural law.
There are many so-called "skeptics" of the NDE, such as the so-called
"Amazing" Randi. But such "skeptics" cannot be considered
to be true skeptics because they have already accepted as false the concept
of the NDE being a real afterlife experience. A true skeptic of the NDE
neither accepts nor rejects this concept unless it is proven by the scientific
method. Thus far, science cannot prove this concept true or false. Nevertheless,
modern skeptics have raised some very intelligent and profound questions
that need to be addressed by NDE researchers. The following are some of
those questions and my own answers to them.
