Proof of the afterlife and Robert Bigelow

[nobspeople]

Many on here (and elsewhere) claim to have proof of the afterlife. If you're one of those, you're in luck!
Robert Bigelow (an interesting character for those that don't know - you should read up on him) is offering a ton o' ca$h for proof of the afterlife.

Of course, if you have the proof, that's all you need - you're 'above' the need for money I'm sure - but, you could always donate that winning purse to the charity of your choice.

For discussion:
Do things like this discount the idea of the afterlife and or God; should the afterlife be held in higher regard?
Or should those that 'know', take up the cause and prove it true and benefit mankind?

If anyone requires proof of "The Afterlife" first they will have to tell me what "afterlife" is.

Meantime, I have at least subjective evidence that there is probably more to experience after this reality is finished with through personal experiences related to the idea.
The idea of 'afterlife' is part of the human experience as humans have been experiencing alternate realities since before these the age of the written word.

I am not one to wait around for others to show me their evidence. There are ways in which individuals can experience for themselves and form there own conclusions.

Mostly, I don't disagree. But I want this thread to be about proof and winning a prize, not about our personal feelings (as there are plenty of those here).

Do things like this discount the idea of the afterlife and or God;

No. Why would they?

Should the afterlife be held in higher regard?

As a subject of interest and something we each may yet experience, yes.

Or should those that 'know', take up the cause and prove it true and benefit mankind?

In what ways would this 'benefit mankind"?

[Replying to William in post #4]

No. Why would they?

Some may think it trivializes such a thing (?). But personally, I wouldn't think so. But everyone has an opinion and many are easily offended, especially when it comes to things of faith and religion.

In what ways would this ["]benefit mankind"?

I think proving something true (or false), taking away doubts and questions, benefits mankind; it's always a good thing to learn and know about the 'world' in which we live. Do you not concur?

[William]

Sure. The subject of afterlife is difficult to prove for obvoius reasons.

As to whether evidence supplied which show it being true iIt may or may not benefit humanity. I suppose it would depend on what was discovered about it re the evidence.

Can you provide examples of how, if being proven true, it might not benefit humanity? Seems you 'suppose' it would depend on what was discovered (the evidence).

Can you suppose it would benefit humanity without providing examples yourself?

Yes, I can suppose. But being you said it would depend, I wondered if you could provide any examples.
You can't provide examples - which is fine; all you need to do is say so.
Thanks for participating in the discussion anyway!

Yes I did answer [your supposing it would benefit mankind to know] with "it would depend" on what might be revealed.

Since we do not know either way, we cannot say either way. I can and did say "It may or may not benefit humanity"

Neither of us can provide examples either way.
