The BICS 2021 Essay Contest
Judging the Evidence for Life After Death
The winners were chosen based on the power of the arguments presented and on how persuasively the essays made the case for the survival of human consciousness beyond a reasonable doubt. The contest was judged by seven independent judges. There was no influence from Robert Bigelow or BICS staff on the judging process. The essays were chosen by majority rule with the central criterion being the cumulative evidence beyond a reasonable doubt for survival of human consciousness beyond permanent bodily death.
