NDE's are constituted as evidence for an afterlife

NDE's A near-death experience (NDE) refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations including detachment from the body; feelings of levitation; total serenity, security, or warmth; the experience of absolute dissolution; and the presence of a light. http://en.wikipedia.org... Although, this maybe my first debate so, you might have to pardon me if my debating skills lack something. I shall address you the a couple of supporting factors that show NDE's aren't mere visions being produced from the dying brain. Furthermore, evidence. THE EVIDENCES (1) Realistic Out-of-Body Experiences: Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are one of the most common elements of NDEs. What NDErs see and hear of earthly events in the out-of-body state is almost always realistic. When the NDEr or others later seek to verify what was observed or heard during the NDE, the OBE observations are almost always confirmed as completely accurate. Even if the OBE observations during the NDE included events far from the physical body, and far from any possible sensory awareness of the NDEr, the OBE observations are still almost always confirmed as completely accurate. This fact alone rules out the possibility that near-death experiences are related to any known brain functioning or sensory awareness. This also refutes the possibility that NDEs are unrealistic fragments of memory from the brain. Also, I'll give you more supporting argument on why these things are true; There are at-least more than 30 cases of blind from birth individuals of whom had very realistic OBE's during their death. These including vivid details of the experience. One famous case about a visually impaired woman named Vicki Noratuk. Vicki was born blind, her optic nerve having been completely destroyed at birth because of an excess of oxygen she received in the incubator, many years later, she had a life and death situation where in which she died for a few minutes and had an OBE during her time. She described everything in vivid detail, all of the shapes, colors and everything she never heard of were accurately described. Thus, it refutes the argument that the brain produces dream-like images, during an OBE. Interestingly, there have in fact been Successful Experiments in actually testing Veridical NDEs... Many doctors, nurses, medical staff, paramedics, and family members have been interviewed by NDE Researchers to obtain cross-referenced verifiable information between the stories of the patients concerning their Veridical NDEs and the cross-referenced experiences of the medical staff involved with them. Dr. Michael Sabom did a study on over 57 cardiac patients who had clinically died and were brought back, 32 of whom had experienced Veridical OBEs and had described in great detail their own resusitations during cardiac arrest, and 25 of whom had not experienced an OBE during their cardiac arrest. He had two groups, the experiencers who saw in their OBEs and the non-experiencers who did not, describe their resusitations. To his suprise, 80% of the non-experiencers made serious mistakes. On the other hand, all of the experiencers did not make a single mistake. http://www.near-death.com... (2) NDErs report seing deceased relative that they reportedly didn't know were dead at the time. Some cases have multiple interviews and it seems to confirm the position of the patient as having no idea that the person in their visions was dead. (e.g. keeping secret from dying man about his friend's recent death). (3) Children have awfully similar experiences related to adults. This may disprove the possibility the argument that NDE's happen prior to wishful thinking. Even little children who remembered being infants who had an NDE too and compared it with an adults. They were both similar, except for the life review thing. (For some obvious reason.) http://www.near-death.com... http://spiritualscientific.com... (4) Also, there are more 64 scientific organizations who work on NDE's and most of them verify these things as "glimpses of an afterlife" Such as this study for an example: http://www.near-deathexperienceresearch.com... Please pardon my last few arguments, I'm new to this place, and I know some of debating although they might sound irrelevant. So, good luck on this roung. ;)
