People like Pam Reynolds have reported NDEs during clinical death which is a challange to science: how can people report clear consciousness with flat EEG (no brain activity)<br /><br />The answer still lies out there, but with the search for the God-particle at CERN maybe soon we will have real proof of extra dimensions where God could be placed.Proof of life after deathhttp://www.bookaboutafterlife.com/index.php/proof-of-life-after-deathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920271329589936347.post-91158741363974586242008-12-14T19:17:00.000-05:002008-12-14T19:17:00.000-05:00I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article, which s...I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article, which showed a lot of good thought and logic involved in its genesis.<BR/><BR/>I believe a version of your second option. (“Second, I have a soul, and my soul is immortal. My post-death journey features heaven or hell or some state in between.”) I replace the word “soul” with the word “spirit”--I define soul as the combination of body and spirit, with the spirit being the element that gives life to the body (when the spirit leaves the body, the body is dead and begins to decay.)<BR/><BR/>As for why afterlife “evidence is so weak,” the hint for me is in Chapter 10 of Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History Of Time” where he theorizes that if there is a God who created all things, he did it so that it looks like he doesn’t exist. Therefore, since we can’t know scientifically that God exists, it has to be taken on faith that he exists, and then we try to live according to what his prophets have said over the centuries. The end result is “for a purpose beyond anything we can ever know” in this life. This makes more sense to me and “I think that’s correct, and closer to truth.”Dan Knudsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208892467467447004noreply@blogger.com
