You should write up all the evidence for biblical history, get it published and stun the world.

Good luck with that endeavour.

You know what phenomenon is that has been explained by Science? Oh wait.. thats what Scientific knowledge IS.

Quote:No miracles, medical, etc. will ever be explained.
NDE will never be explained, and why do they all see the after-life,

Listen to yourself. Assert assert assert. You think that throughout history has been full of people saying "you will never explain.. " "you'll never explain".. over and over again, they've been proven to be wrong.

The question is more sensibly, what makes you so arrogant to believe that your assertions are any more sensible than any other historical assertion of "you'll never explain..."

Quote:why doesnt anyone ever see the circus.

Maybe you should be asking, why do people see things only consistent with their own experiences.
For instances, christians seeing a white beardy Jesus. You must know that is a anachronism for the region.

More to the point, when experiencing events which only draw on known experiences, why is hallucination during a period of great physical stress not more likely than NDE.

The fact is, you desperately WANT to believe in these things, you're not interested in reading the neuroscience, or .. hell.. any science.

All science does, is try to explain the world. All you want to do is deny explanation to preserve a need for magic in your life.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
