Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
I thought this thread was just to answer the poll and be done with it...
Oh well.... Might as well derail this one too!

Where suppose to be the evidence that the consciousness goes away from the dead body?

For that matter, where's the evidence to think consciousness can stick around after the body generating it degenerates? Save your NDE's for the gullible. The degree of bodily degeneration involved in a near death experience is no reason to think consciousness can persist in a moldering corpse.

Being alive means that exist a parallelism among body, mind and consciousness.
Once the parallelism is lost due to body death then the factors separate.
This happen in nature all the time.

Sure, nobody said that but they keep on saying that when you die also the consciousness die.
Can't you see any difference? Smile

You see!
You even say something similar.
What is the difference in saying that the consciousness die with the body or the brain?
Oh, by the way i guess you got some solid evidence in that regard.
Ok. i am very very patient. i can wait for your evidence until the next Christmas. Smile

There is no evidence of consciousness without a brain.

All evidence from neuroscience indicates that consciousness/mind is brain-based.
Damage the brain, damage the mind. Alter the brain, alter the mind.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Being alive means having all your vital organs functioning, especially the brain. Being dead means having all your vital activities cease, including brain functions. As far as we can tell, your consciousness dies with your brain.

They don't "separate," they all dissipate at once.

Sorry guys but the evidence point elsewhere.
Let me give you just two examples.
1) One Nde while outside his body (in one hospital) saw one nurse in a different section of the hospital dropping a baby which caused a fracture.
Once back in his body he reported what he saw to the doctors so they could fix the baby fracture.
Note that the nurse did not report the incident for fear to get into trouble.
2) One NDE while out his body saw what was inside an adjacent room that he never been in his life and once back in his body described the contents to the nurses that could check and witness the event.
These events and many other have been witnessed time and time again and many witness are still alive ready to describe the events.
On the other hand you got absolutely nothing to prove the opposite. Cool Shades

Oh man, anecdotes probably made up entirely by a clearly superstitious idiot on the internet. Guess I'll just turn in my atheist badge downtown. Later, guys.

RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
In the spirit (ahem) of checking the events, rico, could you give a few specific details by which we could research these anecdotes? Names, dates, that sort of thing?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You can call them anecdotes or whatever you like but according the big book of Near-Death Experiences these facts are real and documented by witness with references.
Go and read the book, contact the witness and then come back here.
I will be waiting for you. Cool Shades
