The sentence you highlighted is a claim about the argument for a deist god. Not about the origins of the universe. You're not very bright, Rik.


Wrong again Ace.
By saying that some people have a ..........lack of knowledge of the origins of Earth and/or the Universe..........you automatically make a judgement and by making a judgement you automatically put yourself in a position to know or suppose to know the truth.
And if you know the truth you should answer my question.
If not you talk crap.  Smile

Don't you ever get tired of lying about these things?

First of all your link say..........The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops.

Do you know what the word CAN mean in this case?  Lightbulb
It means that it can as well as it can not.
It depend on the situations so all your impetus zeal to contradict me just goes down the sewer but
that's not all Yog.
Most people who had an NDE could see their bodies lie or in the casualty of the hospital or where some accident took place that clearly means that the consciousness separate from the body-brain beside
a brain in trouble can not possibly put together an experience clear, sharp and vivid that is remembered after years and years that took place.

Try again Yog but please less garbage next time.  Bird
Have a good day dear.  Smile

The bullshit term "NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE" gives it away, "NEAR" not beyond the window. That isn't after permanent death, thus the word "NEAR". Nobody survives death after that window has closed. If you survive you still had enough in you to come back.

NDE's are simply humans false perceptions of their natural brain activity. The brain goes through a shutdown and sometimes you can come out of that shutdown, but after the window has closed BEYOND repair you don't come back.

Hallucinations are your brain dumping out your files due to heavy medication and or hypoxia and that sensation can feel very real, but it is still nothing more than your hallucination. If you spent a lifetime being told bullshit claims of souls and spirits and afterlife, your hallucinations are going to reflect the lives you interacted with, your memories and mix with the fairy tales you swallowed in that time. 

If you are raised Hindu or Sikh in India  have a NDE in India your "experience" will involve India's superstitions and social norms and will involve your family members and friends who buy into that superstition too. If you are born in Saudi Arabia and raised Sunni Muslim and have a NDE, again, your false perception of a hallucination will involve the superstitions and beliefs of Muslims. If you are born in Tibet and raised Buddhist, and have a "NDE" again, same thing, your false perception will involve your memories of family friends and the superstitions they buy into.

BUT none of that is real. It is no different than if really want to believe the covered olives in the dark kitchen on Halloween night are really eyeballs, you will believe it.
