Huggy,

No, there are no documented cases of people being conscious while there is no brain activity. All that NDE stuff is lucid dreaming during waking up.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I was debating with a Christian friend of mine resently and she had an interesting thought about how god religion ect. Exist. She states that sense the soul, what makes us who were are, are electrical and chemical instances in our brian, essentially energy, that sense energy can noy be created nor destroyed then thqt proves that when the physical body ceased to exist the 'soul' of a person lives on by energy. In that she stated that that proves religion and afterlife are real. So i ask for any thoughts on the matter as i personally think it's a bit to far fetched.

She needs to learn about entropy. The organizational state of energy and/or matter has everything to do with its properties.

"Plenty of evidence"? What I see here is anecdotes at best that have no way of being verified and/or reliably repeated. Those subjects could be lying, for all we know.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Hey, at least he's not spouting unintelligible word salads... Yet.

Scientific experimentation requires the subject to be brain dead which obviously cannot be done ethically. Also the example I gave was the "subject" claiming she made observations while being brain dead, her observations were verified by medical personnel as being accurate.

I suppose you can bury your head in the sand and claim that everyone involved is lying, but the truth is not one person can prove that consciousness ceases to exist after death, yet that what you seem believe....
