Atheists, I want to know your explanation for these Out of body experiences?
#2
RE: Atheists, I want to know your explanation for these Out of body experiences?
Because the human brain responds relatively predictably when deprived of oxygen?
Because this doctor a priori dismisses literally any physiological or psychological explanations for these phenomena?
Dr. Robert Todd Carroll Wrote:I don't think these "scientists" should be so quick to dismiss psychological and physiological explanations. The patients are administered an anesthesia and are most likely given other drugs as well. Can they really be so sure that the physiological changes due to cardiac arrest in addition to these drugs don't affect some people in such a way that they dream or hallucinate what they report as an NDE? They seem to know that they can't dismiss every case of anoxia, hypercardia or temporal lobe seizure as different from NDEs in "narrative quality."

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
