Proof of life after death?

Life After Death: The Evidence

I suspect the book is better than this Newsweek review makes it sound. (Why did Adler have to start off with the silly story about the butterfly, thereby indirectly tarring D’Souza with it?)

But if it all comes down (as I suspect it will) to philosophical arguments and near death experiences, I won’t be impressed.

   From the article:

   I can’t help wondering what D’Souza, a well-known conservative political commentator starting a second career as a Christian apologist, would make of my experience.

   Uhhh, what experience? The author saw a butterfly.

   Is that what passes for a profound transcendental experience?

   Yeah, that was kinda my point. Readers of the article will conclude that D’Souza is some weird dude who believes people are reincarnated as butterflies because the author chose to share his goofy experience. What was the reason for that?

   I think Adler is trying to make a point about spooky coincidences and extending that to D’Souza’s book in general. It’s a clumbsy unclear comparison.
