Enough with the ad-hominem attacks. If you are so wise, can you explain it?

First:

This is not an argumentum ad hominem as it has no bearing on my response.
Quote:argument directed at the man

Second:

It was a generic, nonspecific insult to those that refuse to accept or even examine scientific research. The fact that you took it personally and your previous responses suggests that you do fit the bill as follows.

Third:

Your basic argument against the science is that you do not accept the arguments because they do not include your god or afterlife or your preconceived answer. (a 'god dulled' brain)

There is no thought when there is no brain activity. The 'experiences' are malfunctions of the brain due to drugs, chemicals, damage, etc. and these 'experiences' happen before the shut down occurs and they are repeatable.

You asked the question and yet you completely failed to thoughtfully examine the evidence, ergo my response. "Forget god and let some science seep into that brain of yours"

And since, you have been dragging a red herring behind you.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
