dhw: However, I also acknowledge the possibility of a “scientific”, i.e. materialistic explanation, and even of a psychic explanation that does not necessitate the existence of the single mind you call God. And the older I get, the closer I come to the truth. So I'll just wait and see - or not see!-DAVID: BBella's point is we have to try to analyze what facts we do have.-Agreed. We don't need to call the facts “scientific” before we can analyse them, and we should not assume that there is or is not a “scientific” explanation for those facts. Our ignorance is so profound that we should keep an open mind on all such issues, and this applies particularly to the sceptics. (I can understand why people who have had such experiences themselves will be convinced of their own conclusions.)
