1) NDEs show flattened brain waves in the electroencephalogram (EEG) so it just not possible for a brain out of life to create anything at all.
Produce a link from a peer-reviewed medical journal to support this assertion.
You still don't get it Astraja, do you.
Researchers find out that there may be some activity but these cases related to coma patients in which the heart is still active not in NDE cases in which both heart and brain are off.
Quote:Now researches find that even in a flat EEG there may be activity and that refute the belief that is all over but this particular research relate to coma in which the heart is still active so if you put heart and brain out the equation as in the case of an NDEs there is nothing at all.
Quote:Emphasis Mine. All this tells Me is that there are limits to the sensitivity of the EEG recording. I think that there is activity, but that it's too low-level to be detected.
One more failing Astreja.
NDEs experiences are full of clear and sharp visions and experiences and these are also clear and vivid after years.
This is something that could not possibly happen where there is a low-level activity in the brain.
Quote:Now about God.
Most of the NDEs experience and perceive God not father Christmas or the elves.
Why is that so?
Quote:Childhood indoctrination and the fact that god-beliefs are prevalent in many cultures. In My case I would be far more likely to perceive Dragonlance characters, or gods from the Norse mythos.
Wrong once again Astreja.
Strong atheists that never worry about God perceived God in their NDEs.
If you just read these NDEs experiences you will find countless of people that never bother about God
or that they were atheists and all come to the conclusion that God is there.
Quote:Not only that but why even strong atheists after the NDE become all of a sudden strong believers and why those who went through an NDE dump materialism in favor of spirituality?
Quote:Anecdotes are not evidence. It is entirely possible for people to experience a hallucination and change their view of life, the universe and everything. The existence of spirituality does not make the spiritual any more real.
Hallucinations usually happen after someone use drugs.
This is not the case in NDEs experiences.
If you also consider that their brains was off then where hallucinations suppose to come from?
