About this episode

Chris Carter discusses the scientific exploration of the afterlife and presents evidence supporting the existence of consciousness beyond death.

Chris Carter is a physics teacher who was educated at Oxford, England. He is author of four books that make him one of the most significant authors today exploring the question of life after death. They include Science and the Near-Death Experience, Science and Psychic Phenomena, and Science and the Afterlife Experience. His most recent book is The Case for the Afterlife: Evidence of Life After Death. Chris argues that science does not speak with a single voice on the afterlife and examines why many prominent scientists have remained open to questions of consciousness beyond death. He explores five major lines of evidence including near-death experiences, deathbed visions, children's memories of previous lives, apparitions, and mediumship while discussing how standards of scientific evidence should be applied to extraordinary claims. Carter contends that a rigorous examination of the evidence invites a broader philosophical understanding of reality and survival beyond bodily death.00:00:00 Introduction00:03:02 Scientists and belief00:08:03 Creator and afterlife00:12:02 Five lines of evidence00:17:32 Skepticism and proof00:22:12 Quantum perspectives00:27:06 Reincarnation…
