It never fails to astonish me how (wilfully?) ignorant the vast majority of these so called sceptical commentators are. We're getting to the point (research wise) where it is becoming (scientifically) highly likely that survival is true. And yet these 'idiots' seem to be wholly unaware.

Perhaps it’s a bit like when some people pick out the data that support their argument but ignore that which undermines it.
