Reading Time: 3 minutesWilder Penfield Studies in brain research is building a case for dualism and perhaps even life beyond the grave. Wilder Penfield, often seen as the father of modern neurosurgery, “mapped” the brain during surgery by electrically probing certain areas while the patient was fully conscious. He was able to do Read more…
Reading Time: 3 minutes3 Interesting reactions I’ll document here that people have taken to in light of this powerful research. John Beloff John in the journal The Humanist argues that the data in favour of life after death was so impressive that even humanists should just admit an afterlife and then attempt to Read more…
Reading Time: 7 minutesIntroduction NDE’s are intriguing, many believe they tell us something about a life beyond and I believe that too, they give us some insight into that life (For me near death is near death, it may not be a clear picture of non-returnable death but a component God has instilled Read more…
Reading Time: 4 minutesCould NDE’s be explained by something such as medical causes alike drugs, or psychological reasons such as hallucinations, or by natural abilities, biases, or fakery? These are questions that we must address. Could drugs, either medicinal or otherwise cause or contribute highly to NDEs? [1] What about other medical conditions Read more…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteHow about hallucinations not caused by medical factors? Depersonalisation (a recreation to life-threatening dangler in terms of personal detachment from a situation), wishful thinking, dreams or other related altered states of consciousness such as those sometimes achieved in various sorts of isolation conditions? These also cannot account for NDEs. Firstly, Read more…
Reading Time: 5 minutesSome have suggested a more naturalistic method that tries to account for the objective elements. Could the NDEers have collected the data they reported in more normal ways? Or could they have fabricated the data, consciously or unconsciously? Or are the researchers at fault? Perhaps their biases have influenced their Read more…
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhat about Telepathy or some other form of ESP (extra sensory perception)? Could drawing form the minds of the living person’s credibility explain corroborative near-death experiences? IT doesn’t look like it. Firstly, it presupposes “Super ESP” hypothesis, that these powers permeates can explain countless phenomena that are now misunderstood. But Read more…
Reading Time: 9 minutesI have presented here a case for consciousness living beyond, and surviving biological death, that there is a part of us that transcends our physical body and has the potential to be active in such a state. This is first presented by evaluating four lines of evidence for Near-Death Experiences. Read more…
Reading Time: 9 minutesSo the intellectual arguments for defending God’s existence in the presence of suffering may check out, but how does God love us through the suffering? These intellectual arguments may deal with suffering, but personally are very cold and often removed from our trials. It was the sheer suffering in my Read more…
Reading Time: 5 minutesOk so God and suffering logically exists, we’ve sold that, but is it likely true? It may still be argued that while it’s logically possible that God and suffering both exist, but it’s far from likely. There’s just so much pointless suffering it seems improbable that God could have good Read more…
