Afterlife

[Arkilogue]

How do you know that it was *while in this state* that she had this experience?

Ark, why did you avoid this question?

I didn't see it and this was directly after what I posted from the link:

But during "standstill", Pam's brain was found "dead" by all three clinical tests - her electroencephalogram was silent, her brain-stem response was absent, and no blood flowed through her brain. Interestingly, while in this state, she encountered the "deepest" NDE of all Atlanta Study participants.

Some scientists theorize that NDEs are produced by brain chemistry. But, Dr. Peter Fenwick, a neuropsychiatrist and the leading authority in Britain concerning NDEs, believes that these theories fall far short of the facts. In the documentary, "Into the Unknown: Strange But True," Dr. Fenwick describes the state of the brain during an NDE:


"The brain isn't functioning. It's not there. It's destroyed. It's abnormal. But, yet, it can produce these very clear experiences ... an unconscious state is when the brain ceases to function. For example, if you faint, you fall to the floor, you don't know what's happening and the brain isn't working. The memory systems are particularly sensitive to unconsciousness. So, you won't remember anything. But, yet, after one of these experiences [an NDE], you come out with clear, lucid memories ... This is a real puzzle for science. I have not yet seen any good scientific explanation which can explain that fact."

Ark, why did you avoid this question?

Because he's not really here to have a conversation. He's here to dance around and throw glitter that he calls gold. I may like a good joke, but this is just disruptive nonsense.

No because I had to go sleep at 1:30 in the morning.

And you're acting the coward, putting me on ignore but still tossing trash from your self imposed safe space. Sad really.

I'm not asking you for respect, but I do hope you can come up with more creative ad hominems while we get to know each other  

Sciency-word salad will not fly here.  Do you know one of the members you have been trying to debate with in this thread is an actual physicist, and could probably eat you for breakfast?

Good. Then I'm in the right place!
