[quote:Anonymous Coward 43647980:MV8yMzIwNTMwXzM5NTYwOTQ3X0ZERTlFQjMx] The NDE debunkers don't want anyone to believe in God or anything greater than the human. The debunkers also don't want anyone to believe in absolute moral codes (right/wrong, etc.) because they don't want to be held responsible for their lying, stealing, and cheating, especially intellectual property theft (but don't you do it, or they will scream and stick their relativistic legal system on you). Essentially, the worry is that humans who believe in God or an afterlife will hold transgressors responsible for the harm they have done to others. Then they would be deprived of their "memories of good times," which are really only comprised of their addictive indulgences, and ability to donate to charities that promote their causes. [/quote]
Original Message
It’s called a near-death experience, but the emphasis is on “near.” The heart stops, you feel yourself float up and out of your body. You glide toward the entrance of a tunnel, and a searing bright light envelops your field of vision.
It could be the afterlife, as many people who have come close to dying have asserted. But a new study says it might well be a show created by the brain, which is still very much alive. When the heart stops, neurons in the brain appeared to communicate at an even higher level than normal, perhaps setting off the last picture show, packed with special effects.
Thoughts? Same explanation we've heard for years?
