No, I expect he'd find it facinating. Scientists by their very nature are open minded. They know things to be true if they are faced with the facts and true scientists can admit when they are wrong without feeling they are losing face. Not that I think he is wrong.

I suspect he'd be really pissed off.
I read "The God Delusion" recently.There was much predictable and nigh-on unarguable stuff on the Bible as literal truth being codswallop and the divisiveness of religion. But I was hoping he'd take a look at one or two of the harder things to explain like the extraordinary balance of the universe which allows conscious life to arise and accounts of near-death experiences
I don't doubt for one moment he regards near-death experiences as poppycock. Fair enough. But then a scientific explanation is called for in its place and this was conspicuous by its absence.
I think he's be mightily miffed at having been so loudly wrong for a whole lifetime.
Still, I'd hope that it comes to pass one day.

Being a scientist he would want to know how it happened that he had survived death and yet still somehow be alive !
It would bother him greatly that his thoughts would seem to be independent of his synapses ! Any disappointment would quickly be replaced by the sense of wonder that led him to be such an enthusiastic enquirer and sceptic . He would want to pursue the enigma as soon as he had recovered from the surprise !
If it happens and he writes a book then he will have to do it by automatic writing ! but who (on earth ) is going to believe in that !?

I think he would be thrilled and intrigued. Experiencing "life after death", doesn't in any way prove the existence of god by the way, it would merely be another phenomenon to explain.

We don't have feelings after death, that's why it's called death "GAME OVER" even though you might find it hard to understand and need strange fantasies to make you feel better about dying.

Of course he would not It would be great if all that nonsense was real I think he would want to know why God had not let everyone have some sort of proof that God existed.
But...... neeever gonna happen

Is that the idoit that said ideas enter people's heads and mean nothing because they are viruses coming from other people's thoughts. Think it was to destroy religion, the problem was, of course, that that meant his idea was a virus coming from someone's thoughts and it meant nothing lol
No, he'd be disapointed if he bumped into Adam and Eve lol

I doubt it. He's pretty open minded when it comes to facts. If he was presented with indisputable proof of God I'm sure he'd be religious aswell.
Unfortunately it's more than likely that neither will happen.

Like me he would probably be horrified to have to spend eternity in the sort of place that seems to be written of in religious books.
