This Life, Next Life

I am not sure what you imply, but "if you cannot measure it then it doesn't exist". Dreams and "near death experiences" can not be verified or measured scientifically and thus they are not true in the scientific sense of the word. They are personal "truths" or convictions. The human mind works in mysterious ways, and it is not a reliable source of truth. What is established in the main stream science has been verified again and again and thus it is true in that sense. The media is not a reliable source, since they just seek attention not truth. I think it is better to just believe in something not physical rather than trying to prove it as long as that believe does jeopardize others way of life.

Give it another 2 decades & materialism will be outmoded. Too tiring to argue with materialists.

When you are talking about assumptions (not a falsifiable hypothesis and proven theory in the scientific meaning of the word) then there is no argument with science. Many people value other dimensions in life other than materials, but not all of them need something metaphysical to activate them.

Not sure what that is meant to mean? Materialism is Not science. It's in fact a very poor metaphysics/philosophy.

I follow science and the scientific method. I don't know about the philosophies you are talking about.

If people want to engage in a philosophy of science - which is the way things have been going (again) - then it would be prudent to have some knowledge of the area -
