Not all is understood, of course, but enough is to make it clear that the dying or oxygen-deprived brain is probably behind these events. For example, the tunnel of light that many dying or distressed people have reported seeing is likely nothing more than the tunnel vision that occurs when the eyes don't get enough blood and oxygen. Researchers have also found that some drugs can trigger hallucinations and out-of-body experiences.
When it comes to eternal life it is not closed for atheists, because in few years or decades we may all may become immortal with cloned organs ready to be replaced and micro robots repairing us.
On the other hand existence after death that religious leaders have been selling us for as long as there has been religion is a terribly destructive hope if it leads people to demand less of themselves in this life because they expect more after they die and don't actually involve more in science.
Is that a research?
Are you kidding me?
That is none but an other guessing.
The guy doesn't even know that only some NDEs go through the tunnel.
Get real son and next time present something a bit more credible.
LR that study is for reasonable people, which means not yourself. You, on the other hand, have some other things to do and we all know what that is
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
