Coke, presumably.
Sam Parnia's contributionsSam Parnia is a central figure in NDE and resuscitation research, seeking to better understand what happens to consciousness during clinical death. His work challenges traditional perceptions of death and raises important questions about the nature of human consciousness.
I want him to dig up that "research" of the dudes that weighed a person about to die and noted a tiny portion of a gram he lost on his last breath.
Yup, they say they weighed a soul. It couldn't have been any biological factor.

Crookes began his investigations with the aim of exposing fraud among mediums, but ended up becoming convinced of the authenticity of some of the experiences. He conducted experiments with famous mediums, such as Florence Cook, and documented his experiences with the materialization of the spirit of Katie King, which caused a great impact on the scientific community at the time.

William Crookes is an important figure in the history of science, not only for his scientific discoveries, but also for his involvement in investigations into spiritual phenomena, which continues to be a relevant topic in discussions about the nature of consciousness and life after death.

If you think it is, then it's your job to explain why—including addressing the existing skeptical responses to these offerings. Arguments involving those personalities do not suddenly lose their rebuttals simply because you wish to raise the issue all over again.

Gil-Galad was an Elven king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
Just as relevant as your 'contributions', and I bloody well typed that one out by hand and from memory, not via an AI spoon-feeder.
I'm just citing maybe evidence

If you can't establish it as anything more than "maybe" evidence then no one is obliged to take it up. You wish to establish Crookes, for example, as an eminent scientist whose conclusions regarding spiritism should be given attention. Crookes lived in Victorian times. There is a wealth of critical treatment of his claims. If you cannot demonstrate awareness of that and explain why those existing analyses are in error, you deserve no attention.

No more so than the last time you proposed them. Stop repeating yourself and address the discussion.

No.
First, you have not established that there is any evidence there to address. You've merely mentioned the names of people without explaining what about them you think constitutes evidence. This is especially important since you don't seem to know what evidence is.
Second, the people you have mentioned have already received considerable attention from skeptics, including already at this forum (Parnia). If you cannot address the rebuttals already on the table, you are not in a position to ask for more.
Third, you don't address any answers so there is no reason for anyone to waste time on your claims until you do.
Don't recall exactly as it was a laughable footnote in science done by not quite notable researchers.
I do recall it was a tiny quantity however. It may have been done more than once.
It was like reading the Shroud of Turin researchers stuff after they declared it totally legít and irrefutable. Praise god, he has given us a definte answer stuff.
