We can never know with absolute certainty what is true. As William James noted, "A concrete test of what is really true has never been agreed on.” The existence of an afterlife will never be proved in the same way a mathematical theorem can be demonstrated. However, the evidence for the existence of an afterlife becomes, by logical deduction and inference, quite substantial when we turn our attention to the amassed evidence. 

There are many testimonies on Near Death Experience (NDE), where patients whose brains have no measurable activity describe leaving their body and recount a variety of well-documented experiences (entering a tunnel of light, meeting guides and relatives, and so on). Mediumship is also a fascinating if controversial phenomenon. There are many well-documented cases of mediums taking on the personality of a deceased person and evincing their specialized knowledge and skills. In one demonstration, a living chess grandmaster played a game against a deceased one, via a medium, who possessed his old skill and playing style. Through mediums, spirits have discussed their experience in the afterlife in great detail. Thousands of children around the world spontaneously recall their past lives with specific details. Professor Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia visited hundreds of these cases, often bringing the children back to the place and family they remembered, where they were recognized. He also found that the children often had birth marks related to their past lives. Apparitions of the dead are also well-documented, as is telephone calls received from the dead, via the bizarre phenomenon of Instrumental Trans-Communication (ITC). 

We will review a range of arguments made against the evidence by skeptics and scientific materialists, along with refutations of their arguments.
