An Atheist in Heaven

Book excerpt: This non-fiction book with contributions from scientists, examines the strange case of apparent afterlife communication from Forrest J Ackerman, a luminary in the early history of science-fiction who was a noted atheist. The case provided evidence of afterlife communication in the form of physical phenomena, highly improbable synchronicities, communications via some of the best research mediums, instrumental trans-communication using technological devices which produced measurable effects. Ackerman was a mentor to co-author Paul Davids for over 40 years. Co-author Dr. Gary Schwartz, of the University of Arizona in Tucson, has studied evidence for life after death at his Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health for over 15 years. Chemist Dr. John Allison (The College of New Jersey) determined after 3 years of research that physical evidence in the case was a genuine mystery to science, and he himself began experiencing unexplained phenomena while researching this evidence.
