[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps I will be the lone voice of dissent, but I did not like the book.  Nothing about it came anywhere near close to convincing me this man's experience was "real."[/quote]

To me the fact that a doctor, a Harvard doctor, a scientist wrote this book is proof in itself.  It's a very brave thing to do because you're putting your reputation on the line - your peers are most likely to be very skeptical and will never look at you the same way again.  Only a person who truly believes would risk his career just like that.[/quote]

I went to Harvard. From personal experience, that label doesn't mean much in terms of intelligence or legitimacy. Plenty of people with a Harvard background do all kinds of things for gain - financial, to be a contrarian, or otherwise. [/quote]

true.  I went to Harvard Law.  But I "bought" his story.  You really have to read the book to understand.  And he does not come back as a preachy Christian although he does say when asked if he wanted to participate in communion in his episcopal church after his experience that he came forward with tears running down his face.  That's as close he comes to being a "believer" after the fact.   He's careful not to use any terms that one would associate with a Jewish afterlife (if any), Mormonism (althought here are tiers to heaven), Christianity (altho for him it was to be a glorious experience), or a Catholic hell, but he does describe the mud, the faces, and the grinding noises that frighten him   He just describes what he experienced.  Even if you don't "buy it", it's an interesting read.
