Because I wanted to present evidence and arguments for animal afterlife. If you’d like to get started, look at the menu bar above under “evidence” and “arguments.” If you’d like to know the backstory, keep reading. Why did I start this blog? The short answer is, to help spread the word about evidence for animal afterlife. A lot of people would like to believe, but they aren’t really sure.

In the last section, I reviewed how we have unanimous attestation from mediums, both general and evidential, that animals exist in the afterlife. I will now turn to two other aspects of mediumistic evidence: one scientific study and a large number of specific, evidential cases. Scientific Research Surprisingly, there is one scientific study on this subject. I say “surprisingly,” because it is very difficult to fund and conduct controlled, scientific research on mediumship related to human beings, let alone animals….

A Comprehensive Overview of the Evidence, by David Fontana, PhD Science and the Afterlife Experience by Chris Carter…
The Near Death Experience (NDE) literature provides a good basis for reasonable, evidence-based belief in the afterlife. NDEs occur across all cultures and share remarkable similarities. They are recorded in literature going back millennia. Research on NDEs has exploded over the past 50 years. The common alternative explanations put forward by skeptics — oxygen deprivation, delirium, imagination, hallucination, temporal lobe malfunction, brain damage, wishful thinking, etc. — have all been dispensed with by careful research. If you’re not acquainted with…
