All this week, NBC's Today show has been running a series on the general topic of "faith". A show on declining church memberships and what certain denominations are doing to attract the young..... That sort of thing.
Ended up with "Is There An Afterlife"...Featuring entirely credulous and non-skeptical segments on people who "died and went to Heaven" with all the typical trappings.. Oh, and of course there are going to be books.... (Funny they didn't include the kid who admitted making up the whole thing.....)
Then the doctor (featured here before) who's "investigated" numbers of cases of NDEs and is convinced that the afterlife is real.... He has a book as well....
For the skeptic..... Well, they announced that one could, if one wished, go to the NBC site to read "what skeptics had to say". Nothing on-air whatever.
edit: I went to the "Today" site and looked for the skeptical comments.... Couldn't find any. In the 9 viewer comments on the segment, there were a couple of skeptical voices, but one woman expressed dismay that NBC would even mention that there were skeptics as it "ruined a beautiful story"...
