Some highlights:
Quote: I was a christian at the time and for a while tried to equate the tunnel vision at the end with possibly heaven but I was always only a christian in name, not really belief. . . . I decided that added shock from getting moved by the corpsman was a much more plausible reason for the tunnel vision.
. . . I can certainly understand why people who are deep believers in a deity can claim to have seen their deity when they are about to die. The brain is absolutely amazing, even when it's dealing with massive shock.
Quote:I've 'died' twice . . .
Both times I was blasted outward to space and inward to quantum at the same time. It felt like I was being shown the mysteries of the cosmos. However, I wouldn't attribute this to anything supernatural but it was a very enlightening perspective on how the brain operates and sparked a lifelong fascination with scientific exploration.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
