The Scientific Search for the Afterlife, UFO Abductions, Finding Jesus, Politics Becoming the New Religion (Video)

In his most ambitious work yet—a scientific exploration into humanity’s obsession with the afterlife and quest for immortality—bestselling author and skeptic, Michael Shermer, sets out to discover what drives humans’ belief in life after death, focusing on recent scientific attempts to achieve immortality along with utopian attempts to create heaven on earth.

For millennia, religions have concocted numerous manifestations of heaven and the afterlife, and though no one has ever returned from such a place to report what it is really like—or that it even exists—today science and technology are being used to try to make it happen in our lifetime. From radical life extension to cryonic suspension to mind uploading, Shermer considers how realistic these attempts are from a proper skeptical perspective.

After introductions Michael asks Dr. Shermer about Politics & Religion. Dr. Shermer has been all over the media, and most recently appeared on the Ben Shapiro show. Michael pointed out some things about Ben he disliked. Is Ben Shapiro as genuine, as he leads to believe? The dangers of being a public figure & Society. 

Why Do so many people experience alien abductions or seeing christ? Are all these people crazy? Or are they actually experiencing something real? Skeptic: Viewing the World with a Rational Eye.
