There are still many unanswered questions that science will continue to research.  Again, the world was once flat, right?  It no longer is . . .  So perhaps one day we'll figure out how NDEs overheard conversations in other rooms.

Below are "cultural accounts" of NDEs.  The mind is simply using what it knows to create an "afterlife" during those few seconds the brain is still working after the heart has stopped.

[quote]That isn't to say there aren't cultural differences:

o Many of the Africans interpreted the event as somewhat evil; half thought the experience signified that they were somehow "bewitched." Another called it a "bad women."

o Among 400 Japanese NDErs, many reported seeing long, dark rivers and beautiful flowers, two common symbols that frequently appear as images in Japanese art.

o East Indians sometimes see heaven as a giant bureaucracy, and frequently report being sent back because of clerical errors!

o Americans and English say they are sent back for love or to perform a job.

o Natives of Micronesia often see heaven as similar to a large, brightly lit American city with loud, noisy cars and tall buildings.

To Morse and other investigators, these experiences are not as different as they seem. It is merely the individual interpretations that differ. Many report that their NDEs are, like dreams, "difficult to put into words." That forces them to borrow images from personal experience and apply them to their NDE. And the discrepancies found in reports do not signify mass hysteria or hallucinations. On the contrary, the similarities across a wide variety of cultures, ages, and religions support the idea that being near death not only triggers a specific type of experience, but that the experience is "transcendental"—that there is entry into another dimension of being.[/quote][/quote]

The flat earth disproof isn't providing any evidence here. It doesn't provide any evidence or explanation, its merely your hope for a possible one at some time in the future. Its not even a theory.

Please provide citation for your bullet points, otherwise they are not edivence of anything.[/quote]
