The Million Dollar Challenge is a term we usually associate with the conjurer and entertainer James Randi who, like Houdini before him, is a skeptic and debunker of all things spiritual. He offers $1000000 to anyone that can demonstrate paranormal abilities under laboratory conditions and appears to take great pleasure in waving cheques in front of psychics, mediums and the like. His arch enemy is the spoon bending PK psychic Uri Geller.
A counter argument to this is that the existance of life after death is already proven. Proof of life after death is based mainly upon human testimony. For example, a sitter may be given evidence of mediumship that for them gives them absolute proof that it is their loved one communicating from the other side. Human testimony is used in a court of law to establish the truth. In some countries a person can be executed on the basis of human testimony.
So maybe the best judge of the truth of mediumship is not a stage conjurer but a Lawyer! And one has come forward to counter the Million Dollar Challenge of James Randi with a Million Dollar Challenge of his own.
I have had an email correspondence with retired Australian lawyer Victor Zammit for some time now and have cited some of his arguments in my own books. I also thoroughly recommend his book “A Lawyer Presents the Case for the Afterlife” which presents irrefutable objective evidence including objective, empirical proof for the continuation of life after death.
$1,000,000 DOLLARS - Will James Randi or Richard Dawkins take the Challenge?
Victor Zammit argues that the evidence taken as a whole gives absolute proof that life continues after death. These are not just theoretical arguments. Victor presents us with evidence that constitutes overwhelming and irrefutable empirical proof of the existence of the afterlife. In his book Victor says:
“When the objective evidence – modern materializations, near death experiences, out-of-body experiences, after-death contacts, voices on tape, psychic laboratory experiments, the best mediums, the cross correspondences, the Scole Experiments, proxy sittings, poltergeists and all the other evidence contained in this work – is seen collectively, the case for survival after death is absolutely stunning and irrefutable.”
Now Victor has presented the skeptics with his own Million Dollar Challenge. Watch the video and let Victor explain. Then come back and tell us what you think.
THE MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE
So what do you think? Is Victor Zammit’s case watertight? Will Randi, Dawkins and the rest take on the challenge? And what about the James Randi Million Dollar Challenge – perhaps us TV psychics and mediums should throw the same argument back to them – “We’ll take the Randi challenge once James Randi wins the Victor Zammit Million Dollar Challenge".
Zammit has thrown down the gauntlet – will the ‘rationalists’, skeptics and conjurers take him on?
