Well, I've stopped looking at arguments from cynics. I say cynics because I think being a skeptic doesn't mean you don't believe in spirituality, it just means you're more, well... skeptical. And skepticism is good to a certain extent but too much of it can make you closed minded. Anyway, I went over the last arguments I had saved today from many materialist subs dismissing things like NDEs, something I'm very interested in.

On the askscience sub someone mentioned how the Aware 2 study failed. (I'm not actually sure if that's true, and of the tiny sample size, two people did report out of body experiences and one of those people could give a pretty accurate description of what had happened around him.) Anyway, someone said something that really got me thinking, about how he thinks scientists should stop studying this "baloney" and spend their money on things more worth their while.

So how do you win? Materialists and closed-minded skeptics will, on one hand, claim there's no repeatable scientific evidence for NDEs. Then when they do try testing for evidence, (and have possibly found some), that's a problem too because so many people already believe it's not spending money on. I don't know, but it seems to me like a lot of people don't even want to touch on these issues and would rather not study them. Maybe there's a reason there's so little scientific evidence of NDEs, especially with cases like Pam Reynolds, when they can brush off what happened to her and say her doctor's account isn't good enough because it's only personal testimony.
