He's gone back into the Light where ultimately we will all return to. He now knows the "truth." RIP, Mr. Dennett.

He’s gone back into the Light where ultimately we will all return to. He now knows the “truth.”

RIP, Mr. Dennett.

A body is proof; its absence is in no way evidence-against. But that aside. People like Dennett keep the discussion from veering over into the opposite camp, which I have found listening to it can be even worse. Skepticism without conclusive evidence is one thing. Buying in with no evidence is quite another, as Dennett and his compatriots do serve to remind us. RIP. “Bottom line is, they don’t have a body” doesn’t cut it for a scientist, who should be able to come up with a variety of plausible reasons why not.
