    Your phrase "REAL empirical evidence" of what happens to humans after death further confirms my gut instinct this is all an apology to the materialistic viewpoints of science (i.e., in my mind the empirical world)
    So when you use the word in the philosophical sense is that fake empirical evidence ;-)

    M: So, say, when someone tells you they've witnessed a resurrection,
    this doesn't mean that it's possible to bring dead people back to
    life, and a rational empiricist philosophy is by no means committed
    to such an idea. The report of a resurrection does not constitute
    empirical evidence of a resurrection. Rather, it might be a starting
    point for further rational and empirical investigation, which would
    include the real empirical evidence of of what happens to human
    bodies after death, and the logical argument, supported by empirical
    evidence, that its impossible to reactivate a human brain after the
    brain has physically disintegrated.
