       Is there life after death? Can science shed any light on this
       age-old question? And is the mind simply the workings of the
       brain, or is it something else? On this episode of ID The
       Future, host Andrew McDiarmid chats with Dr. Jeffrey Long, a
       radiation oncology physician and one of the scientists featured
       in the new Angel Studios feature film After Death
  HTML https://www.angel.com/watch/after-death.
       As founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation, Dr.
       Long has investigated over 4,000 near-death experiences (NDEs),
       the largest number of near-death cases ever assembled and
       studied. The results of his research are published in the New
       York Times bestselling book Evidence of the Afterlife: The
       Science of Near-Death Experiences.
       In this interview, Dr. Long explains the hallmarks of a
       near-death experience and the common themes found in most
       near-death accounts. He also shares nine lines of evidence that
       support the scientific case for afterlife consciousness. And he
       explains why skepticism is a healthy part of science, while
       ideological rigidity can inhibit the scientific pursuit of
       truth.

  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-120422122257-65551.png<br
       />about his chapter evaluating the evidence for near-death cases
       in the new book Minding the Brain: Models of the Mind,
       Information, and Empirical Science. As Dr. Habermas explains,
       most near-death accounts contain both objective and subjective
       elements. Personal testimony about other realms can't be
       independently corroborated, but objective evidence rooted in
       this world can be confirmed and evaluated. "I can't verify
       heavenly discussions or heavenly sites," says Habermas, "so the
       kind of NDE data I'm talking about virtually always occur on
       this earth in normal kinds of situations, like parking lots or
       in your home two miles away. That's where the evidence comes
       from." Dr. Habermas relays several examples of near-death cases
       with strong evidential support. He also lays out five different
       lines of verifiable phenomena. Tune in to learn more about the
       scientific case for this intriguing phenomenon.

       In this engaging conversation with Asher John of the Carpenter's
       Desk, Dr. Gary Habermas discusses Near Death Experiences (NDEs).
       He makes a distinction between non-verifiable, out-worldly NDE
       claims and verifiable, this-worldly claims, and surveys us
       through the NDE research in the last few decades. By walking us
       through several evidenced cases, he presents a thorough case
       against &#128053; [glow=maroon,2,300]naturalism[/glow] and
       evidence for an afterlife.

       May god bless you, my friend.
       Could you , or someone, post this song for me. It succinctly
       sums up my views on 'morality':
       "Open Up Your Senses", by Horace Silver (on Youtube)?
       AGelbert > Collectivist activist
       As you say, Hmmmm...
       The bottom line is that you are an ethics based person of good
       will who firmly believes, through EVIDENCE BASED REASON
       resulting from your senses being FULLY OPENED, that Naturalism
       is all there is. Therefore, your worldview, of ideological
       necessity, draws a line in the sand that EXCLUDES THE SCIENTIFIC
       VALIDITY of ANY human experience on the other side (i.e. AFTER
       physical Death) of "properly opened senses" of that LINE (i.e.
       "The physical Universe is all there is and all life evolved by
       random undirected processes").
       And yet, you see no irony in the fact that your worldview is
       actually far more exclusionary than my worldview, which argues,
       among other things, that life exists on both sides of that line.
       Okay, if I am the "closed senses" dude here, why is it that you
       flat refuse to accept THE SCIENTIFIC  EVIDENCE that NDEs take
       place on the AFTER PHYSICAL LIFE side of that line

       />if not because you are the one who has chosen to limit your
       senses?
       May God Bless you with an appreciation of the reality of NDEs
       obtained, not via superstition, not via religious beliefs, but
       only via scientific method obtained empirical evidence.

       dreamjoehill said, "Do NDEs prove that "there is an afterlife of
       far more longer duration and importance than this one"? I don't
       see it. They are by definition short lived, the dying return to
       life and only get a glimpse of what is on the other side. They
       don't prove that ego or individual personality live on."
       AGelbert > dreamjoehill
       Well, I do see it. WHY? Mainly because of scientific evidence
       that, during an NDE, when there is ZERO brain activity and a
       person is 100% flat lined, our being exhibits, not just normal,
       but increased sensory awareness while irrefutably NOT observing
       surroundings (e.g. a VERY long number on top of a medical
       machine, the number on top of an ambulance, a leg amputated and
       put in a yellow plastic bag during surgery on somebody else in
       the same hospital, etc., you get the picture) from within the
       physical body.
       Your POV is, perhaps, based on the idea that this brief
       excursion out of the body is some quasi-physical part of our
       physical being, that science has not been able to measure yet,
       that "goes away" when we have been physically dead "for long
       enough". Modern medicine does not accept that as an objective
       basis for excluding the permanent existence of our conscious
       being outside the physical body. An NDE is not the same as being
       in a Coma without visible life signs. Those in a Coma have brain
       wave activity.
       If your hypothesis was true, it would be expected that people in
       a Coma (about as close as you can get to being dead - and yeah,
       severely stressed physiological life support systems cause
       people to enter into a Coma - Severe Physiological Stress is the
       excuse most use to "explain" NDE experiences, that is, when they
       are unable to hang the "hallucination" hat on them.) would
       report experiencing NDEs, but there is no causal link reported
       by NDE researchers between a Coma and an NDE.
       You CAN trigger a Coma. Doctors do that all the time when
       absolutely required for some medical procedure, though you
       certainly can enter a Coma from severe stress without some
       doctor pumpimg you with massive amounts of insulin. You CANNOT
       trigger an NDE by putting someone in a Coma.
       Clinical death means no senses, period. The fact that there are
       proven out of body sensual perceptions ([glow=teal,2,300]e.g.
       even from people blind FROM BIRTH before AND AFTER the
       NDE[/glow]
  HTML https://youtu.be/bBoZYZsEghA?t=1436)
       is evidence for the
       physical body being subordinate to the spirit, not the other way
       around. Thus, this objectively presents the uncomfortable case,
       for those who think that the 3D Universe is "primary", that  our
       consciousness is a function of that non-physical part of us
       commonly called the spirit or the soul. The inescapable logical
       corollary is that the body requires, in addition to all of its
       physiological mechanisms, a soul to be alive. No, medical
       science makes no such claim.
       So, believe what you will about that brief glimpse of what is on
       the other side. Anyone that reads what you wrote, and accepts
       your hypothesis, will come to the conclusion that the "other
       side" is not really there.
       You cannot have it both ways, bro. IF there IS life after death
       (i.e. the Other Side) it is permanent, not a transitory
       hallucination on the way to oblivion.
       Do you, or do you not, believe in the reality of the
       metaphysical nature of our Universe along with its physical
       nature?
       [glow=teal,2,300]Paul the Apostle[/glow] was not a medical
       doctor, but without having to resort to Plato's Cave (though
       that works quite well for that purpose &#128513;), to explain
       the overriding eternal reality and importance of the afterlife,
       compared physical life with that of a seed. Paul is exactly
       right.
       1 Corinthians Chapter 15 (selected verses for brevity: my
       emphasis)
       35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with
       what body do they come?
       36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it

       40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but
       the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the
       terrestrial is another.
       43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
       weakness; it is raised in power:
       44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
       There is a natural body, and there is a &#127793; spiritual
       body.

       49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also

       Many scientists claim that our solar system is 4.5 billion years
       old, but is that number right? Absolutely not. In fact, our
       solar system looks very young.
       Host Trey and Dr. Jake Hebert discuss this important topic on
       episode 61 of The Creation Podcast!

       [glow=blue,2,300]&#128330;[/glow] [glow=blue,2,300]Dr. Steve
       Miller[/glow] &#128330;&#65039; believes that deathbed
       experiences provide stronger evidence for supernaturalism than
       the traditional arguments for God. While Near-death experiences
       have gotten much press lately, little discussion has paid to
       power of deathbed &#128123; :o experiences. In this interview, I
       talk with Dr. Miller about his latest book.
