This CEO is offering $1 million for evidence. I think no one will win this prize, but do you believe there is life after death?

https://futurism.com/the-byte/space-...ence-afterlife

Las Vegas real estate mogul and CEO of space station module startup Bigelow Aerospace Robert Bigelow is offering up $1 million in prizes for evidence of “the survival of consciousness after permanent bodily death,” The New York Times reports.

Bigelow, a billionaire who has also raised eyebrows for investigating UFO sightings, recently founded the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies to support research into what happens after we die.

To me, Bigelow should do research the same as did the people of Acts 17:11 who researched, searched the Scriptures daily to see if what they were learning was what the Bible really teaches.

I think Jesus well answers the belief if there is life after death at John 11:11-14.
Jesus was well educated in the old Hebrew Scriptures which also teach ' sleep ' (Not life in death )
Please notice -> Psalms 6:5; Psalms 13:3; Psalms 115:17; Isaiah 38:18; Ecclesiastes 9:5
If there was an ' afterlife ' then the conscious dead would need No resurrecting because the dead would be alive.
The living do Not need to be resurrected but the sleeping dead do.
Since we can't resurrect oneself or anyone else is why we need someone to resurrect us. Jesus can and will - Rev. 1:18.

At death we say ' goodnight ' until ' Resurrection Day '(Jesus' Millennium-Long Day of governing over Earth for a thousand years)

Maybe you should bring him the Bible and he will give you the $1 million for the evidence. LOL. On a more serious note, there is another book called the Koran that tells us of it. So how do we determine which one is telling the truth?

Fact: The Bible is a book that over the many centuries many enemies just can't get rid of it. Can't destroy it.
Faith: Not ' blind faith ' (credulity) but faith (confidence) in what Jesus teaches because it is in harmony with life.

A comprehensive concordance puts the Bible is ABC order for us by topic or subject arrangement.
By topic or subject we can see the Bible's internal harmony by its corresponding cross-reference verses and passages.

There are lots of books that have survived book burnings and all sorts of ends. Nothing special about the bible except to believers. To the rest of us it's fiction.

The Koran is set up the same way. So how do you tell which one is the truth?

Are there any books older than the Bible that have survived enemy bans and burnings _____________
Interesting that you say ' except to believers ' because yes, since the Bible was written there are believers that banning and burning can't bring an end to them.

What book has believers spreading it's message world wide on a such a vast international scale as the Bible is being done today __________
What book has been translated into more languages than the Bible ___________
What other book has as many remote translation offices as Bible people are translating today __________
