[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was actually a really interesting book written a year or two ago by the guy running the study on NDE where he runs through the history and evidence and his study. Its fascinating. He does not conclude that there is a God, but says that SOMETHING is happening after death that we don't understand. Look, my view is that everything is describable by science. That is what science does, describe things. If something is happening after death, it is describable using the scientific method, but perhaps not the tools we have now to measure the world. I am also a Christian, and I don't see those things as opposed. If there is life after death, I don't know why that should be "supernatural," any more than other crazy unknown things in this universe are supernatural. They are just unknown.[/quote]

I agree with this. Today's science might not have the tools to analyze the "supernatural" but it does not negate an eventual scientific explanation. [/quote]

I just found an article about the near death experiences of blind people. These are people who were blind from birth, but in a couple of cases, they were able to describe the surgery room, the waiting room, people in the waiting room while they were clinically dead and attempted to be revived in surgery.

Over and over again, near death experiences seem to provide evidence that the consciousness lives on after the body dies. Science can not explain this but it's happened to thousands of people, including people blind from birth.

This is tough to swallow for atheists who will not be able to explain it. But then again, they don't need to, and nor do we need to explain the position of believers.[/quote]
