One reason that they must all be fakes is that when you die that's it. Your brain is a vital component in your continued existence as a personality with memories and an ability to communicate. When you die it stops working and falls to bits. The idea of an afterlife is just stupidity based on pre-historic superstition.

Oh, what do I hear wafting out of the bullshit...

"you can't prove that"

Yes I can. I'll chop your head off and you try using a medium to tell me what kind of axe I used.

if its real why does he get so angry at him?

@chrisofnottingham Nice one. What i do these days when someone tries to convince me of an afterlife (a trick I learnt from penn and teller) is to ask them where they were before they were born. It sends them into a somnambulistic trance, right before there heads explode.

@chrisofnottingham Chris Carter addressed those objections in his 2010 book "Science and the Near Death Experience". Part 1 is all about conceptual issues (such as the issues you raised). Part 2 is about alleged evidence from NDEs. Part 2 is weaker than part 1. I think you'd enjoy part 1, even if you find part 2 underwhelming.

I think he actually believes he's communicating with the dead. Not a trickster. Let's see if the rest of the show makes me change my mind.

@chrisofnottingham Sounds like some faggot 12 year old is asspained because no one gives a shit what they have to say.

[AndyvanKayne]

I absolutely don't believe that guy... Derren Brown forever... at least he's not acting like he's some god... He's great!
