PS: parlando di esperienze di pre-morte, ce ne sono alcune che vanno ben al di là delle possibili spiegazioni scientifiche. Come uno che si è staccato dal corpo durante l'operazione che ha subito, e al risveglio ricordava benissimo alcuni dettagli della sala operatoria che non avrebbe dovuto conoscere perchè entrato nella stanza privo di coscienza.
Sì, e mio cuggino una volta da bambino è morto!
The plain consequence is (and it is a general maxim worthy of our attention), 'That no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavours to establish; and even in that case there is a mutual destruction of arguments, and the superior only gives us an assurance suitable to that degree of force, which remains, after deducting the inferior.' When anyone tells me, that he saw a dead man restored to life, I immediately consider with myself, whether it be more probable, that this person should either deceive or be deceived, or that the fact, which he relates, should really have happened. I weigh the one miracle against the other; and according to the superiority, which I discover, I pronounce my decision, and always reject the greater miracle. If the falsehood of his testimony would be more miraculous, than the event which he relates; then, and not till then, can he pretend to command my belief or opinion.
