"It's not June, but James Patrick Kelly has a story in this issue of Asimov's. "Bierhorst, R.G., Seera, B.L., and Jannifer, R.P., 'Proof of the Existence of God and an Afterlife.' Journal of Experimental Psychology. Volume 95, Spring, 2007, Pages 32-36" is the cumbersome title of yet another religious-themed story. Richard Jannifer is a cynical psychology researcher, running an experiment in which the subjects are told they can travel through time, experiencing their own future. The setup is a fake, intended to gather data about what subjects would like to know about their future, but, this being science fiction, it's not much of a surprise when the latest subject, a callow college student, really does seem to travel to his future: even beyond his death. The story asks the readers (as well as its characters) to think about what it would mean if we really did have "Proof of the Existence of God and an Afterlife", but Kelly doesn't have any answers. He asks the question in an interesting way, however." -Rich Horton, Tangent Online (Learn more about Tangent Online, the Internet's leading SF&F short fiction review website)
