[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bearegards information was confirmed in the Lancet article. Both conclude that science can not explain the phenomena of near death experience, and there must be some other explanation. Thousands of people across various religions and culture report similar experiences after death. They report hearing details of conversations, seeing particular people, etc..They can't all be lying. Current science can not explain it. [/quote]

I doubt many (if any) of them are lying about what they believe they experienced, however neuroscience has provided some explanations. Even if it were a completely inexplicable mystery, it's a VERY long leap from "something's going on that we can't explain" to  Beauregards's "divine Ground of Being."

Lack of an explanation does not automatically mean that a supernatural explanation is the only possible explanation. Science has demonstrated repeatedly that what has been believed to be a supernatural event is actually explicable via natural causes.  [/quote]

When your EEG shows there are no brain waves and you are, by medical definition, dead, then there should be no consciousness. There should be no remembrance of what happened to your body or conversations around you while your brain was not functioning. You should not be able to hear conversations in other rooms down the hall or on other floors either. If your EEG shows no brain waves and you are clinically dead, you should not be able to visit with deceased relatives who you never knew about and be able to report back about them. Yet, those with NDE's report they did. And thousands of people have NDE's. There is no possible way science today can explain this without accepting the concept of a soul or consciousness after death. And when science is finally able to explain it, every medical textbook will have to be trashed and rewritten to include a chapter on consciousness surviving death.

There's something happening to people who have these experiences and while some sit on their hands waiting for science to figure out an explanation, the believers in the world already know. It's the only plausible explanation - our consciousness does survive death. Too bad science can't explain it but religion did though.

Kidding, right?  I wish someone could confirm that  this is a person who is trying to make a believer look dumb. [/quote]
